The term "wheels" could refer to the whole car for all we know...

$10 for the whole set out of pocket. Guy at local tire shop had them claiming they are original off of a '68 corvette. how much truth is behind that I don't know but they look good to me anyway and and couldn't pass up the price. $160 for this set and sold my old ugly wheels that came on car for $150 so I only paid $10, and they are exacly what I was looking for. they are 8" wide out back and 7" up front , whipe dust off and they look brand new except for the 3 prong knock off (that does have crossed flags) original or not I'm still happy with them

The 15X7's might be original 68's because that is what was on the 68's
The 15X8's are 69-82 and should have a date code stamped by the valve stem. (If you care)
Overall I would say you got a heck of a deal

Just checked. 15x7s have no markings but match rear and 15x8s have an AZ next to valve stem. might shed some light on the subject

there should be numbers and codes surrounding the valve stem, that will tell you the dates made and if they are truly corvette or not.

Either way, it's still a good deal. They look good.

Yeah the rings and center caps all included. Also mounted and balanced my tires on them for me. Pretty good deal to me.
