I am somewhat negoitable on the asking price . I have tried to post photo's but am having trouble . If you would like photo's simply E-mail me and I will be glad to send them . E-Mail; wr1947@hotmail.comThe only interior color available in leather for '63s was Tan.
Note: Even though some cars had the "Leather" option,the only thing in leather were the seats.

Actually... if memory serves me correctly 
... they did roll off the line with knock-offs, but the Mexican made wheels were porous and some of the tires went flat at the St. Louis plant parking lot. They were later available over the counter from GM parts dealers.
JohnZ knows much more about this than I do...
John, there is a rumor floating around that one or maybe more 1963's were shipped from the factory with knock-off wheels.

RE: the OP, maybe he meant they are real Corvette KO's instead repros.

As far as I know,no 63s were delivered with factory-installed knock-offs (P48) wheels. However,the P48s were available later in the '63 production year and were purchased over-the-counter at Chevy dealerships.

Knock Off's
I canniot say wheather I agree or not . There are varying degrees of ""Yes they did , and no they did not . The original factory offering states that the """P-48""" aluminum wheels were offered ,,, So where do we go from there . If it was a factory option , how can we say they did not come off the line . Great point of discussion .
