not sure about decoding dates on wheels but it looks like its 12/30/70 (don't see too many 1970 KRs)

Great pictures of an original KR wheel! That charcoal color is the shade that I remember seeing on the Rally II's in the late 60's and early 70's. I've got old pictures of some of my early 70's Pontiacs with that shade of charcoal on their Rally Wheels. It is darker than the DDL 32947 that is out there today. Could it be that the DDL 32947 color superceded the original charcoal in later years and that number that has been in use ever since.
