[ QUOTE ]
Anyone know if the round or oval valve stem hole are the only differences between early & late wheels?  [/ QUOTE ] Rob seems like there was something else, I did a search over at Nasty on the set I had, and a guy had lots of info and pics on what to look for in a post, it was a real good read...be darned I cant recall much of it though, lol claiming a senior moment, over and out.

Re: 2nd gen (70-81) Z28 wheels
The below link tells the story on 70-81 Wheels. I wont go on and on about all the misc details concerning rings,caps &lug nuts, cause I dont think that was your intent. The small oblong 5/8"X1" Valve Stem hole stopped around May-June and the late 70-73 Z-28 got the 13/16"X 1" hole wheels

Re: 2nd gen (70-81) Z28 wheels
Good info there, Chuck...thanks! But basically, if I score *any* set of 2ng gen Z wheels I won't run into any wierd offsets or ring/cap problems, right?
Thanks to a couple of members here I think I've got some lined up, and just wanna make for sure before the checks go in the mail...

Re: 2nd gen (70-81) Z28 wheels
Rob, In so far as I know, ALL the 70-81 Z-28 wheels will have same basic external/internal specs. Like above link points out, the trim ring just sits differently with 77-81 wheels. You HAVE to use the Laquer paint formula with suede additive to achieve the 70-74 look, but advising you its not a durable coating and advisable mostly for show cars.
ROUND hole 77-81 Z wheels were painted body color as you probably already know......
