HELP - What year Rims are these?

I was hoping that someone could help me to determine what year rims I have on my Corvette. They are 15x7 Kelsey-Hayes Chevy rallye rims and have the following codes near the valve stem. Also, would these be OEM for 1971?

K-1-7 12 20 AG

Thanks!

I believe the 7 is the year....either 67 or 77. 12 would be December mfg. and 20 the day of the month. The fact that they are 7" wide would lead me to think they are 67. 69 thru 82 vettes were 15X8 and the letter stamp is AZ. More opinions should help....I'm not real sure about this.

Here is a thread from the archives concerning wheel codes.

According to this the AG signifies a 68 wheel. The 7 still doesn't make sense though. Maybe a few more opinions can clarify this???
