Bill...I always thought that was the case...but, in Colvin's Book Chevy by the Numbers 65-69 he lists a 14 x 6 Chevelle SS Wheel with both codes...YA and AO.*page 321
Maybe this is a misprint in his book [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Thanks...wilma

I'm not sure what they mean by SS wheels on Chevelles Tom. I'm talking about the wheels on my El Camino in my sig. Those SS wheels didn't start until 69, and they were all 14&quot;x 7&quot; wide. Maybe Colvin's is talking about the Rally wheels/they came in many different sizes...14&quot;,15&quot; and 6&quot;, 7&quot;, &amp; 8&quot; wide. The 14&quot;x7&quot; SS wheels on my Elky are the only ones I know of, that Chevy used.

Misprint for sure... they never made a 14x6 SS wheel, however Motorwheel did produce that style wheel in a 6&quot; wide size, I used to have a chrome set of them in a GM bolt pattern.
