yes 7=67, 8=68, 9=69 etc. also be aware wheel centers and outer rim are made separately and stamped separately so center could have center like 12 67 and outer rim K2 8
67 dates I've seen 6/67, 7/67,9/67, 11/67 and 12/67
68 dates too many to list
other markings KW, FoMoCo, 6 (width)
68 wheel dates are month/day like 3 29 etc

Rodney,
Another wheel to add to your 23. This is from my KR.In the center of the rim between the lug holes.K28  , fomoco, 19, and C.
Around the tire stem. K28,6, and 20.
For those that don't know the K28 means Kelsey Hayes , 2 is made in Canada, and 1968. The K38 is the same except the 3 means made in USA.
This wheel is from a July car.
Hope this helps Brad

               Thanks again,  Pete.

When things go bad just hit the throttle, may not solve the situation but does end the suspense.

The 1968 wheel post tells how....

It looks like a May, 1967 wheel

Does it have three slots or three nubs?

This is the rim.



That  wheel doesn't look like a Shelby wheel.  The hub doesn't have correct sized center hole and the area around lugs nuts appear to be raised.

What are the numbers in the areas circled?




The center hole does look bigger than 2 1/2 inches I do agree.....can you measure it?

Are you reading the other thread?
