Rally Rim Code Help
I think I have most of this figured out from some previous posts, but could someone help me here. I have rally rims with the following code: K 1 90 10 26 FI. (The valve stem hole is between the 10 and the 26.)
K=Kelsey, 1=Chevrolet, 90=? (Is that 1990 or 1969?), 10=October, 26=Day26, FI=? (not sure about that one).
That '90' confused me and I also don't know about the FI. I have a 1967 convertible L71. What would correct '67 rims have stamped on them? Thanks in advance for your help.

That's a service replacement wheel for a '67-'70 full-size station wagon ("FI" code). You want "DC" or "DG" coded wheels, with nothing but the two-letter code stamped adjacent to the valve stem hole. The other codes you noted didn't appear on wheels until the very late 60's-early 70's. The "FI"-code wheels are the same size and offset as the Corvette rally wheels, but they aren't correct judging-wise for your application.

You'll be happy to know that the 67 DC/DG wheels are a relative bargain compared to the 63/64 wheels and 65/66 wheels. The steel wheels for my 64 cost me a small fortune considering what they are. I was able to locate a couple of 67 rally wheels in just a few days at less than half the cost of the 64 wheels. I'm not sure why this is. I would think that there are a lot fewer 67 wheels around compared to the other years. Good hunting! Jim
