1967 wheels
Have what I believe are original 1967 Corvette wheels. There are several stamping in each wheel. On left side of valve K 18 12 on right side is 5 DC on the inside of rim is 15 x6 JK. Can anyone confirm that these are original?
i have the chrome rings and center covers also. How do I confirm that they are original?

According to this NCRS article it appears they are Service Replacement '67 wheels possibly made Dec. 12, 1968. Look at the second to last line in the table on page 20 of the pdf below.

As stated above, they are the correct wheels for a 67, but with later dates. While this will be an issue for someone doing an NCRS restoration, it won't bother many other owners, making them a still somewhat desirable set of wheels. As far as the trim rings and center caps, the 67 trim rings are easy to identify by the valve stem hole. On 67 rings, the valve stem hole is shaped like a football, while replacement trim rings have a rectangular opening with rounded ends. The center caps are stainless steel with the chrome plated "low" style center emblem.
