Looking for info on wheel size and part numbers if available for 1966 B body steel wheels that were available with 426 Hemi optioned cars. Photos of original wheels & parts number info would be awesome. Thanks! Joe

14x5.5" with 5-holes between the 5-stud holes (10-holes)
STANDARD on all '66 Chargers due to STANDARD spinner wheel cover (& included on all other b-bodies w/HEMI OPTION) Thanks!!! Were these wheels used on other years as well? Are there any part numbers stamped into them? Thanks again! Joe

Correct, no part#'s, and 66's didn't have date codes, neither did early 67's, but late 67's did.
Here is a 67 wheel that I photo shopped to appear like a correct 66 wheel (I added the extra holes between the lugs). The second pic is a correct 67 wheel for comparisons. What was the purpose of the extra holes?

No purpose, just a vestige from the old tapered axle days. Makes sense

After talking to some different people, I believe that these 14x6 wheels were original equipment on a 67 Belvedere II station wagon. 1967 B-bodies had 14x5.5" as the largest wheel. They also had only one extra small hole, not 10 like your shows. In 66 67 and 68 14x6 wheels were on C-body's.
