Need help deciphering YJ8 wheels numbers
I have a set of YJ8 aluminum wheels with black centres. I know these were available from 76-79. I would like to know what the stampings inside the wheel translates to. I took these stampings off of one wheel so far:
MADE IN MEXICO - No explanation needed
KELSEY-HAYES - This is the manufacturer
AW - ?
K-H101020 - ?
15X8.00 - The wheel size
14008687 - ?
These numbers were found where the wheel mates to the car:
S215P215
383458
On the outer lip on the inside of the wheel I found the letters LV stamped.
Any help breaking the code will be greatly appreciated. I'm assuming there is a date code in there somewhere which is what I'm looking for.

I'll try to make this easier. Are any of these numbers a date code and if so, how do you read it? Thanks.
