One rim has an A stamped by the valve stem, GM stamped on the spider section. Stamped on the inside of the rim is 14x6 JK and beneath that a 64 and a 2. No other stamping or logos are apparent.

On the other rim the number 6 is stamped by the valve stem. And the letters GM with 65 below that stamped on the spider section. Stamped on the inside of the rim is 14X6.00 JK below that the number 65 and the number 1 is stamped. Also stamped the the words Kelsey Hayes in a circular aray around somekind of a star. And the Kelsey Hayes logo is also stamped.

Both rims have a backspacing of 4 1/2" or an offset of 1.00"

My understanding is that this rim 14x6 JK with 1.00 off set was used on 66-68 Chevelle SS with drum brakes. It would seem the first rim was produced in 64 and the second produced in 65.

Any ideas on what GM cars these rims could have been used on? Could they have come on a 66 SS car?
