    i have a pair of wheels that i will most likely sell. but i would like to know their heritage so i can target the correct buyers.
    i am pretty sure they are from a skylark ... but i could be wrong.

    here is a pic of part of the numbers on the back of wheel "A".

    u know that they are 15"X7" rims . produced in january & october of 1983 . they are for disk brake cars . the "A & "G probably represent the work shift code . DOT975 is the approval by the dept of transport , canada . somewhere there s/b a bolt pattern code . the M5 could mean 5 on 5 .

    they appear to be a 4 3/4 pattern...
    here is a pic of wheel "A"
    i thought they were probably older than that.

    The 5 on the M5 is the plant the wheels came out of. While the VJ coded 15x7's (off Lesabres) may not be correct code for '70 & '71-73 GS's, in decent shape, no scrapes, really nice chrome, they are getting harder to find every day, esp with yard owners crushing like crazy :(
