1968 Yenko Questions

That's a possibility, another thought was that the rally II wheels gave a "mag wheel" look to the car without spending the extra $ for aftermarket aluminum wheels. in 68, Chevy didn't really have a styled steel wheel available other than the rally wheel or fake mag hubcap, so the rally II Pontiac wheel was about the only decent looking factory wheel he could buy cheap to add some flair to the cars. Knowing Don, he probably had a Pontiac connection too, and got 'em for near nothing.

When Don decided to use that wheel, it may not have been a Pontiac only wheel.
Early ’68 option booklet showed it as a Chevy option with a bow-tie center cap but Chevy must have canceled it.

Don may have selected it in late 67 or early 68 not knowing that it was to become known as a Pontiac only wheel in later years.
Just my opinion

Joe...that's a cool looking pic. Those wheels are probably one of the best styled factory wheels ever produced

In the first set of pictures the wheels don't have the trim ring but they do have the 'Y'enko center so I would think they could have sold them without the trim ring. It lookes like a fully prepped wheel/tire. But without real paperwork it's a tough one to call either way. But those wheels look great with and without the trim ring!
