Original "SS" Wheels are in very nice shape and so are the original Yenko caps.

Just in passing 3 of the wheels are dated A 20 and 1 is A 17.

Hey Marlin. All indications from the Roofs are that these 4 wheels (and the XT spare) are original to the car. Do other Deuces have this much spread between wheel assembly and car production (i.e 4 1/2 mos)?

I think if you look harder you'll see a 4 20 and a 4 17 rather than an "A". As far as I know AO SS wheels were dated with numerals, not letters... making them April 20 and April 17, If that's the case they aren't "4 1/2 months early" and are actually pretty consistent with the wheel dates of most every other Deuce.

Erik and I inspected this car when it was still home in Indiana, PA a few years ago but I forget what type of lugnuts were on it... are they chrome plated, or stainless capped? Pretty sure they were just plated, not the capped factory type you'd find on SS Chevelles.
