SS-1 chromies, set of four.
Trying to make some room. These are the LE code wheels, they will
not fit disc brakes. Made in 71 only? They are still on the car, I believe
the codes are on the backside. The caps are crap but the retainers
are nice, $425 + the ride.

Kev, I believe it was the off-set. They did make this wheel in 69
I think. But the code for them is LY. That one will fit the discs.
On another note, did you hear back from your bud on the nos snap on's?
I have another offer for a swap of one for the other.

LE won't fit disk brakes. LY will fit disk brakes. Both 14 X 6...I believe the LE wheels were made starting in '66 through the '69 model year, although they weren't identified as "LE" until the '69 model year. The LY wheels are somewhat limited production...starting somewhere in the latter part of March 1969 and going to the end of the '69 model year, and used, as I recall, on the '69 model year only.

Works for me, thanks. As far as these wheels go guys, I will get them off,
break the tires away, and scrub them some, and get some new pics.

Hey Ali. I won't know until tomorrow sometime. I will be getting the
tires taken off tomorrow. They have probably been on those
rims for over 20 years. Wonder if the air in them is worth anything?

Small up date guys. Didn't get them back till around dark.
The codes on the inside of the wheels on the outside lip read: M4 8 96 LE.
On the inside middle of rim: 14X6 JK Made in USA LH M48 795C.
Haven't had time to clean them up yet, but not bad with the tires off.

Thanks guys, they are nice. Looks like they may be taking a trip to Canada.
On a side note, I dug up a couple of the SS-1's with the chrome spokes
and paintable fronts that I will be posting up in another thread.
