Default wrong stamp on a rally wheel?

I've got a set of rally wheels from our '67 and noticed one of the wheels looks like its stamped DG instead of DC? I looked up the DG code and it looks like its a 14" wheel code so I don't think the tire would have even fit on the rim. Could this have been miss-stamped?

Its already got a 15" tire on it, same as the others. Thats why I'm wondering if the stamp is wrong?

Anything is possible...are you positive of the stamping?

Default rally wheel

Check with John Z but I think DG IS ALSO CORRECT FOR 67 CORVETTE RALLY WHEELS.

15 inch DG coded rally wheels are correct for January to March builds. I had an original 67 Coupe built in Febuary that came with five DG coded wheels.

I've posted this a couple of times - it's the best article I've come across on the stamping of '67 Rally Wheels - written by Wendel Hans.

Thats a great article, thank you. I was really confused when I saw DG listed as a 14" rim. Strange that I have a mixture of DC and DG wheels.

This is the spare that was with my car, an early FEB build, when I bought it. Never used and it's a DG rim. The other wheels were mags.
