Does anyone have an answer to the two distinct N30 wheels used in 1968. One wheel has the small grooves higher on the wheel and end @ an inch higher than the shroud. The other style end even with the shroud. Is this an early/ late thing? Thanks, BKH

[camarojoe]

Never noticed there was 2 versions... Interested to hear the answer myself!

I've been looking at several 68 publications and dealer stuff only to find the "top" wheel shown. I have some pics of a early 68 SS showing the same wheel and early painted shroud. I too would assume early and late versions. Lets get some build dates together and see where they fall.

The first picture is a late production Gibb Nova, and the bottom is a 4th month Yenko Camaro. Both wheels are even grooves to the shroud...BKH

My 01C LOS 68 Camaro has the marks even with the shroud. Can't say 100% that it's the original wheel since the car has been through a lot of abuse but the patina matches the rest of the car.

I also have a spare wheel I bought with the marks above the shroud.

June built '68 Nova.

Great info guys...I am leaning on a early/ late usage here..BKH

[427.060]

I have 10 of these steering wheels that are in pretty rough condition. Of the 10, 3 have the grooves that end above the shroud. I haven't looked but I don't think there are any date codes on any of these steering wheels.

[427freak]

I have 2 of these wheels. The orig one out of my 68 Camaro dated 04B is even and so is the other one I have.

[Canuck]

I have a 04C Van Nuys, original black wheel,groves end above shroud.

[427freak]

CRG has info on wheel grooves and looks like an early/late situation. Feb 68 changeover???

My May 68 Camaro has the ribs in it. Norwood car

I did a bit of digging thru my photos and found some real pics w/ docs to back them up as far as dates.

1968 SS/RS 350 09D - I have pics of the TT but they are not clear enough in the scans...you can barely make out the line on the wheel, it is above the horn bar. Also note the paint on this wheel is the first design w/ blackout.
