Possibly the original spare.

Notice that it had the finger style trim rings on it. Though it could have been repainted - I don't see silver on the backside.

If you look close at the photo you see some silver overspray onto the black near the oval holes.

Does it have the micro weight for the balancing?

I was hoping my memory was better than it was.. I thought the HO car in this Jim Reed post card pic was Garnet with a black VT but I was wrong.. Still cool pic from Feb -March of 69. We are pretty confident that the LB Z in the background is a buddy of mine that still owns the car and triple black SS Chevelle is another friends car but its whereabouts is unknown.

Re 'finger style trims': My 09C Z28 came with the 4 clip trims originally, but in the late 70's, after purchase of a new 1977 Monte Carlo, I 'swapped' the trims between the two cars (because the '69 trims had a few dents [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]... so my original wheels also have scratches from the finger style trims. Fortunately, before selling the MC, I swapped the trims back... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] with the great proliferation of Monte Carlos throughout the '70's, I suspect I was not the only Z28 owner who did that.

Does the 'possibly original' spare tire have a date code on it? re dates, doesn't that 12/17/68 YH wheel correspond to the *earliest* YH we have seen??

[mike1971]

Can someone decode the date?
