The only thing I have figured out is that the rim was made by Motor Wheel in 1969. Anymore help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Are there any codes at the valve stem on the outside?

Of the four wheels I found two with backside numbers.

M4/9 16 LY

M4/9 36 LE

The other two wheels may have numbers but may be covered with paint.

Thanks

the "LE" wheel should be stamped "795C" on the inside - is this correct?

the "oldsmobility" site has a few issues:
I see no "810" Olds wheel listed
& the 5-1/2" "841" listed is a 4-1/2" bolt circle MOPAR wheel

"full chrome" = no trim ring

your "paint" covering the date code made me question if "we" are all talking the same style & vintage wheels

factory 14x6.0 Oldsmobile chrome 1966-1969 wheels had "satin chrome" spokes & "bright chrome" hoops

Full chrome wheels weren't designed for trim rings.

Here are the wheels I took off and was speaking about. I assume they are all mismatched. Two of which I posted the numbers. I will sell all four eventually and post them in the parts for sale. Condition good minus. No trim rings on these. I like my new look better.
Thanks
Wayne
