Default rally wheel question

Is there a difference between 65 and 67 steel rally wheels? I have a set of 65 KH 15x5 wheels. Will 67 chrome trim rings and center caps fit on my wheels? Thanks.

Oh, I thought all the steel wheels were considered rallies....My 65 has KH 15x5 wheels. Is this a factory 65 wheel? I was thinking about putting 67 rings/caps on them, I like that look, but it sounds like my KH wheels are not actually rally wheels?

Center cap should fit. The trim rings won't.

Maybe my wheels are 67 rally's? Did the 65 steel wheels have KH stamped on them?

'65-'66 base steel wheels were 15x5-1/2", and '67 rally wheels were 15x6"; 15x5" were used on C1's.

I was able to take a closer look at my wheels today. They are indeed rally wheels. I never really paid much attention to them, when I got the car ('65) back in october it had 66 hubcaps on it. I took the wheels off and stuck them in the corner with the hubcaps where they have been ever since, and I assumed they were stock 65 steel wheels. They have KH and GM stamped in the middle and DC stamped near the valve stem and they are 15x6.
