The wheel

M3 6 4 -o- 30

M = Motor Wheel Corp.
3 = plant #3
6 = 1976
4 = April
30 = 30th day of month

But it has no part number and is a 3 tab wheel.
The thought was , after 71 all steel wheels were 4 tab and all wheels after 68 had part numbers by the valve stem ???

I am wrong on these two items ???

Motor Wheel Corp. made wheels for many manufacturers and the aftermarket.
The '76 Chrysler Corp. (5 on 4.5" - 15x6'0") version was part # 3736951, pretty sure this is a light truck/van wheel, it does not appear passenger cars used that size.
Not sure if trucks used a "JJ" profile rim. It could be a trailer wheel.


any "always" or "never" thinking is usually flawed.

Many, if not most wheels newer than 1971 did not have part number stampings.

A few years ago, Galen Govier told me a '72 H-wheel I sold was "home made" because it didn't have the part number stamped on the rim.
