Not an H wheel that fit Hemi and A12 cars, all H wheels were made in the M5 plant

In addition to the above, the "7" denotes it was made in a year ending in 7, thus 1967 or 1977, both too far away from 1969-71, when most "large H" stamped wheels were used. I don't believe Mopar steel wheels made prior to 1969 had flat areas between the lug holes...most had bumps. At least, the 1968 Hemi cars were that way. If it has a small H stamped between the lug holes, then it's a later H wheel, most likely from 1977.

I would guess there is also a full part # under that rust by the valve stem

Well it does not have a part number near the valve stem. I cut off the stem and cleaned it well. Here is a picture of the "H". I guess it may be a Jan, 19 th 1967 15 x 6 wheel. Any one can chime in on this. Thanks HR 20.

'69 model year "H" wheel & I'm not sure '67 model year had a "H" wheel, especially with a flat center.

Notice the center on this 1968 model year 15x6.0 wheel used on HEMI cars. no "H"

Correct no H wheel with a 67 date code, I have seen this "middle sized" H before in late 70s wheels, also a real H wheel has no additional stampings on the face like his wheel has, sorry Hotrod but you do not have an H wheel, you have a wheel with an H

Here's my small H wheels with a part number by the valve stem....these will work for my A12 (someday ), the price was right. Perfect 50/50 wheels....50 MPH @ 50 Feet you won't know the difference

Here is a real deal 5-14-69 H-wheel I just bought for my Bee. You can see the H from a mile away compared to the later small H-wheels.

Thanks for all the info....yup ...looks like a wheel with an H.Not an H wheel. Good for a spare, or roller for the next project.
