Respectfully, more info.

'67 SS 396 Chevelles ordered with J52 front disc (4 piston) brakes were delivered with 14x6 DG "Disc Brake" rally wheels as standard equipment. No other wheel or cover option was offered with J52.

N96 mag covers are killer on a '66, especially on a black or red car!! Paint the wheels black and use '65-'66 specific covers for the proper look. I have Firestone 7.75s on my '66 with no complaints.

These were on a 67 Nova with factory Disc and would not work. That is why I asked if he tried them yet. Chevelle may have more room that a Nova?

I am far from an expert on early Novas, didn't disc brake cars use 14x5 DA wheels? Since DA wheels were used on NON-SS disc brake '67 Chevelles, I am surprised DGs wouldn't fit a Nova? Interesting!

Bill, Thanks for your wealth of knowledge. I purchased the larger hole with the cap molded into the spokes. They're Black spokes so they must be 69-70. Either way they'll look good. This site is the best car forum going. Thanks Yenko.net.

Novas did use the "DA" rims on the 4 piston calipers. If you look at the rim on a "DA" Chevy ll

you can see the bulge the rim has to clear the caliper. the DG does not have that on a

chevy ll.

Here is a DG rim another member is selling...

Yes indeed, I just sat a DA and a DG side by side and the "bulge" is very clear, and I now know why it's there. I am happy to have learned something today! Thanks Dave!!

Thanks Bill, What are specific about 65-66 covers. I bought a NOS set that have the Black painted on the spokes. I've seen them with Silver paint. Which are the correct ones? I agree the mag covers are killer looking. My color of my car is Willow Green.

[67since67]

The cap on top is the '67-'68 version, bottom is '65-'66. Primarily the '66 cap has smaller vent holes and the center cap appears separate from the spokes while the '67 cap has larger holes and the center cap appears molded into the spokes.

I believe the painted spokes came in '69 or '70??

Willow green is a great color, really pops in BC/CC!!
