Default Help with rally codes?

I have a set of 15x8 rallys/rings/center caps..all original I believe, that I bought some years ago. Not going to use them. Can someone help me with deciphering the codes. Here are the codes..

k 1 2 8 11 AZ
k 1 2 8 11 AZ
k 1 4 8 12 AZ
k 1 9 11 3 AZ
k 1 4 4 26 AZ (original ? spare on my '72)

Thanks, and they will be up for sale soon. The trim rings have 4 clips and NO curb rash, and the center caps are metal with Chevrolet Motor Division printed around the center. The wheels are painted with a light silver paint (not Argent) and are flat black on the insides. Any ideas on their value would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob

I came across this awhile back
Hope it helps

K19 9 (hole) 22 AZ

K=Kelsey Hayes
1=Romulus Michigan (Chevrolet)
9=1969

9=September
(hole) = valve stem hole
22=September 22nd

AZ = 1969-82 Corvette only


22 AZ ... then the wheel is dated September 22, 1969

Thanks, but the original (I think) spare on my 72 is "k 1 4 4 26 AZ" which would suggest 1964??? I didn't know 15x8's were on Vettes that far back.. that would put 4 of the 5 wheels made in 64 or earlier.. I think I'm missing something here..

Thanks again.

What I get is:

k 1 2 8 11 AZ

K =Kelsey Hayes
1=Romulus Michigan (Chevrolet)
2=1972
8= Aug
11=Aug 11

Wheel date aug 11,1972

Just guessing here
Rod

Got to agree the 4 is not right
64 or 74

Here's what I reckon they are:
k 1 2 8 11 - 1972 aug 11
k 1 2 8 11 - ditto
k 1 4 8 12 - 1974 aug 12
k 1 9 11 3 - 1969 nov 3
k 1 4 4 26 - 1974 apr 26

71 - 74 the silver should be Argent Silver, 69 not sure I have read silver with a green hue.
The black inside is semi gloss black.

Thanks Chris, now that I have my head out, I agree with you.
