On the car order form there is a place in the lower right for special instructions like painted wheels, stripe delete, special color request, etc. Attached is a picture of a low mile, special order paint, stripe delete, body color wheel '68 Z that Jerry MacNeish certified. I believe the original owner/purchaser died and his wife had it certified before selling it. It is impossible to say how many cars got body color rally wheels. Early Camaros did not have the same kind of build sheets in them like Chevelles and other car lines from 1970 onward got.

As to my comment above, I forgot about the black backside. Thanks for correcting me.

As to the body colored wheels, I'm only aware of 6 cars with them. One 1967 and five 68's. No 69's.
4 of those 68 cars were special paint, built in April or May. For non-rally wheel cars, the wheel color matches the body color. It's not a big leap that the special order color was inadvertently applied to the wheels, even though they were rally wheels. I mean who would think to order body color rallys?
The 67 car had a broadcast sheet that survives. Jon, are there any pictures of that 67 with the original wheels?
That leaves the other 68. October build, just a regular paint code on the trim tag and POP. Dunno.
