Default How to confirm original rims on 66 coupe

I'm trying to sell my original" rims off my 66 coupe and interested parties are asking for about a JK stamping and 15x51/2 on the rims. Where exactly is this info stamped on the rims as I looked on the backside of rim and don't see these markings......do you have to take tire off rim to confirm? They do have the 2 nubs on each side of the valve stem. Please advise and thanks in advance for input to my questions! Also what is a fair price for all 5 rims if you don't mind.

Chuck

Tire has to be removed to see that stamp, it is on the inside of the rim near the middle, see photo, good luck

Sir, he is an example of an inside stamp Original GM rim. I'm sure the outer rim wouldn't be stamped. Hope this helps.
