Rim Id decode
I found two rims in my barn, think from the Vette when I bought her long ago. Any help Id'ing them and does someone need any for FREE, just pay shipping...
One is the spare with Goodyear speedway redline F70-15, numbers by the stem, K181 10 AG.
The other is rim only,stem number K191 22 A 7.....Come and get it

Mighty nice of you, the "AG" one is 15x7, one year only for '68s, with a vintage tire its worth at least a hundred bucks, maybe quite a bit more. The other one is probably "AZ", 15x8 for 69-82.
I'd be thrilled to have them at your initial offer, if shipping to 32609 won't break the bank.

Pure good...my buddy has a '68, I had given him an AG rim that came with my '69.
My '69 has a bent rim and no spare, so I'll use the AZ.
The evil comes later, hopefully my 427/435 will be on the road in the spring.

Mighty nice of 68RATVT. Also of Halfmoon for not going to make a profit off of a free gift. I had a buddy one time that would bum stuff off of me and then take the stuff and have someone else to sell them for him. No work- no fuss on his part, just got the money. Didn't last long. Things like that really bothers me. The Christmas give aways should be given to people who are going to use them or to turn around and give them to somebody else. It's not nice too make a profit on someone elses generosity.

"Any help Id'ing them ..."
"K181 10 AG" '68 15x7, produced January 10, 1968 (or possibly, 1978, even 1988?
"K191 22 A 7" '69-82 15 x 8, produced January 22, 1969 (or possibly, 1979, 1989)
K = Kelsey-Hayes
1= Chevrolet, and probably the KH plant
8/9 = last digit of year
1= month
STEM
10/22 = day of month
AG/AZ = rim width code
