69 roadrunner. painted steel wheel. does it have 3 or 4 humps around the inner center and what numbers should be stamped by the valve stem ? they will be painted to match the car with the small poverty caps.

383, Hemi or A12? In any case the numbers will be date codes.....which could only be guessed at going by the SPD of your car. Part numbers started appearing on the wheel for the 70 model year.

it's just a 383 car. i guess i am not really concerned about the date codes. just need to know if they should have 3 or 4 humps around the center section.

would a spare from a '69 440 GTX with F70-14 red lines be the same as a '69 383 road runner?

Yes, & all '69 Chargers (all Chargers & the "performance" b-bodies had 14x5.5" wheels STANDARD) * non-HEMI, non-A12. LA may have used a different vendor's wheel.
