There at least one more image of the 67 dated wheel in the gallery. I haven't figured out how to get them over here yet. Thanks Pete & JD for moving the rest of them.

12 67 wheel for very early 1968

I still have the original set of steel wheels from my 5/1/1967 assembled 1967 GT 350. Four of the wheels are dated 1967 and one wheel is dated 1966.

Anyone noticed pink sprayed on the inside of the rim or on the backside or both? The one rim I have has a lot of pink sprayed on the back and a pink stripe sprayed on the inside.

[Coralsnake]

The 1968 wheel should have a white daub on the back. I would say pink is atypical.

Rodney's pictures show the back side, center hub was typically left unpainted.

One of the great advisors to this forum wanted me to warn everyone not take this into the weeds.

The purpose of the thread was to provide some basic information for everyone, not discuss all the potential weirdness.

I think Charles mentioned there were 20,000 plus wheels, surely they were not all identical.

Believe it or not I just used 10 for 2 cars last week before that picture. It may seem like hoarding but if you count those and divide by 5 and I currently have 5 more cars that need wheels you'll see I'm short. Don't get me started on hupcaps

Pete, is the speaker on the wall for your music OR, a loud speaker to tell others to "keep your hands off my wheels"?!!

[Coralsnake]

Those are not my wheels, but I do like the speaker idea.
