1970 or ? Camaro Z28 wheel identification
 
Is there any other way to tell what year this wheel is from?

I can't tell what year it is from the date stamp.

Thanks,
Marty

Looks like k-1-9 70 z/28 wheel produced 6-13-69. Also has correct round valve stem hole for 1970.

Respectfully do not completely agree...

1) K = Kelsey Hayes
2) 1 = Michigan Plant
3) xx = Year of manufacturing
4) xx = Month
5) xx = Day

We would need to see the 9 or 0 in the year slot for 1969 or 1970 respectfully.

Dan, the 9 is there but it's faint and correct me if I'm wrong but the outer valve stem opening went to oval shaped after 70.

Thanks for that info. Looks like K-1-8 or 9 so must be 78 or 79

Thank you for all the replies. Can anyone confirm the outer oval hole size and year designation? I will measure it too see if that helps.

Thanks,
Marty

Do you measure side to side? If so, it looks like 13/16. Any further insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Marty

Yes measure side to side.

Mike, Dan and Ed,
Thank you very much for the information. I at least now have an idea that it is late 70 through 76. Still unsure of exact year. It came out of the trunk of a 73, so maybe that is it. Any thoughts on value?

Thanks,
Marty

Do you know the month the car was built?
If it were built in late june or july I would believe the wheel may have a 3 vs a 9 and is original to the car, sure appears to have the original suede finish.

I don't own the Camaro anymore. But, I did find some photos of the other wheels that were on the car when I sold it. If they were all matching hopefully it will solve this little mystery.

I believe it was an 01D build.
