Wheel decoding
I have a set of 4 15x7 rally wheels that I will be looking to sell soon.
I have been asked repeatedly what they came off of. All I know is that they were on an S-10 when I got them, but I was informed that Chevy never used rallies on trucks. Here is what the code looks like:  Any thoughts?  Thanks Andy

Re: Wheel decoding
If that's an "FW" stamping, you have 1973 Monte Carlo 15x7 rims assembled on October 13th, 1972. Looks to be:
K-1-2 - Kelsey-Hayes, Romulus plant, 1972 10 - October 13 - 13th FW - 15x7 Monte Carlo Rally Wheels Ed

Re: Wheel decoding
Thanks Ed.
 That was fast!  If it's newer than '69, I don't have any reference books.

Re: Wheel decoding
Tex,
These would probably be for a 1976 model since the date comes out to August 12th, 1975. And by the way, the "FW" wheels were used on both Chevelle's and Monte's for 1976. Ed

Re: Wheel decoding
Ed, thanks for the information. I took that matched set of FW wheels off my '69 Yenko Camaro when I acquired it several years ago but did not have a clue as to what they belonged on. This car was in the Otis Chandler collection back in the '90's; I guess Otis was not as big a numbers matching nut as I am. Tex
