How do i ID it?

It has a riveted center to outer ring, it is 15". It has four nubs for hubcap retention on the outer ring.

Wasn't there some sort of size and date stamping on these? Was in on the inside of the inner bead ring or the outside bead ring? Too much paint to see anything. No real rust though.

Not even sure if it is a Corvette wheel, this is the first time I have laid eyes on this wheel in over 20 years.

Thanks,
Doug

Date on the inner outer ring, should be welded (dog bone)not riveted

Most likely a 55 or 56 Chevy wheel. Millions were made as opposed to thousands of Vette wheels.

I agree, if it's 15" X 5" riveted wheel with nubs, 55-56 sedan, 57's were 14"s. Vette wheels were welded, and the center was a tapered from the outside toward the ring that circles the lug nuts.

PS. From what I understand, the '62 Vette wheels (and maybe some others?) were welded but no dogbones.

I believe that 55 and early 56 Corvette wheels were also riveted.
Roy, can you confirm that 55 wheels were riveted?

'56 Chevy station wagon wheels were usually welded also.

What is a dogbone?
