Pics, but no part numbers. I think the 70-71 cars came with a special steel wheel that has the same outer hoop as a rallye wheel. Not sure if those are supposed to have an H stamped into them???? I don't see a pic of them on that website. http://www.classicchambered.com/classic/wheels.html

The H wheel that is the sought after one (for the A12 guys) is the 15 x 6 JJ. That 15 x 6 JJ will be stamped on the outer rim hoop where the tire will cover it. The tire must be removed to see it. It will also have a large H stamped in the flat between the lug holes at the eight o'clock position, when the wheel is placed with the valve stem hole at the 12 o'clock position. The 1969 H wheels don't have part number or pentastar stamped into them, but will have the manufacturer code, date, and 6.0 stamp near the valve stem hole - designating the 6 inch wheel width.
Chrysler had later 15 x 6.5 "H" wheels up through the mid 70s, but the H stamping is much smaller. These later wheels will have the Pentastar, part number, manufacturer code, and date code stamped near the valve stem hole.
Hope this helps.

also note the '69 H-wheels have 3- "dimpled" "nubs" for the hub cap, not 4 or 3 undimpled, and the valve stem is in alignment with one of the three nubs when at the 12-O'clock position and as mentioned the "H" stamped at the 8-O'clock position.

Early July 68 dated H wheels do not have the dimples. July wheel is the middle wheel in picture.

What is the correct paint finish on 1969 1/2 A12 Road Runner wheel? Flat, semi or gloss black?
Gloss black IMO. I think the semi or satin finish comes from age.

The very early H wheels did not have dimples in the three humps. I have had several July 68 dated wheels without the dimples.

I just use what ever stamped steel 15" wheel I can find. Paint it black & run it. No one has ever looked or even ever cared if they were an H wheel for sure or not. Are they really worth the kind of money they are bringing these days?

I'm waiting for Tony to reproduce these. Is that in the works? When Tony announced he was repopping the 15X7 steel wheels I asked if he was going to do the 'H' wheels. Answer: he'd consider it if there was enough interest. I'm still hoping.
