These are 14x6 wheels and they have these dates on each side of the stem hole- '11 02', 11 02', '11 28' and '9 01'. I can't see why it would matter but someone will inevitably ask, "what year are they?" Thanks. Oh, they are 4-1/2".

You need the smaller (and harder to read) plant and year stamp to figure out what year. Some of the same info is stamped on the part of the wheel inside the tire bead so look there if the tires are off. 8221260-1671548-WheelCodes.jpg (61 downloads)

OK, good to know. For someone. Thanks! Sorry, Scott!
