Can someone give me a ball park idea what the difference is between the value of C2 Kelsey Hayes DC stamped wheels, and the later GM stamped but riveted replacement wheels? I am assuming the later are of lesser value, but how much generally assuming same shape for both? Thanks in advance. Jerry

I think you meant "C2", not "C1", as "DC" rally wheels were only used in 1967. Depends who the buyer is for the replacement riveted wheels - some not concerned with originality probably wouldn't care, and restorers wouldn't want them, as they'll get major deductions in judging for the rivets and visible date stamps.
You are correct, meant c2 wheels. Thanks for the input on the riveted wheels. So they would be good for correct look, but not from a judging standpoint. I also have a set of 7 inch rally's which from what I can figure out only came on the 68 model???? Measuring from inside of lip to inside of lip, is that the correct way to measure? Jerry

The correct 68 wheel is 7" wide as you determined. The 7" is measured inside to inside of the bead lock. The rally wheel was used on many GM cars in many sizes. The aftermarket wheel manufacturers have expanded the number of sizes available. If your going for judging make sure you have the correct identifying features.
