Sharp looking 68 SS/RS ragtop Lester. I think the steel wheels with the caps add alot to the appearance. Love the color too!

Thanks MR.T for the kind comment.A lot of people tell me to put the rally rims on it, but these are the original rims and for some reason I just love the way the standard hub caps look. And as it turns out, they are fairly rare with disc brakes.

Thanks for all the replies. I dont really care about the codes or what it comes off of since the wheels arent going to be correct for the car. Just any 14x7 that will fit over the 69-up disc brakes and look correct.

I got a set of IF's off a 70 Grand Prix. Late 70's Nova cop cars got 14x7's coded UC. The UC wheel centers are shaped a little different, the centers are a little flatter, have 4 bumps that hold the dog dishes on, and have about 1/4" less back spacing. They are the easiest to find though.

The XT, IF and JZ coded 14X7 wheels are almost identical. The XF is a 14X6 wheel. If you use the later model UC code wheel you will not be able to use the 68-70 caps.

I had a set of 14x6 steelie wheels from a 69 camaro base model once.. I think the code was FC(?) I don't think they would have worked with disc brakes though, although i never tried them.
