Default rim ID?

I just bought a set of four Rally II rims that are supposed to be from a 69 GTO. Where do I find the code, and does anyone know what the code should be? Are they worth anything?

Look at the valve stem opening. On either side of that opening will be markings that indicate original use for the wheels via a two-letter code (e.g. JA), the numbers stamped on either side of the stem hole will tell you year and date made.

1969 GTO Lemans Tempest 14x6 JA for all

All four of these are coded JK. Any idea what they came off of?

If the JK is stamped by the valve stem, then the rally II wheels are '69 Firebird/GrandPrix uage 14x7's used from begin of production up until aprox June of '69. JM's replaced them.

JK was used on a bunch of cars .... you'd need the dates to pin it down.

the codes JJ and JK on the inside of a steel wheel after the wheel size, refer to the outer wheel lip design from the ASAE, not the actual two letter ID code of the wheel.

The JK code is stamped on the outside of the rim by the valve stem.

just to clarify, those wheels were not available on a GTO, Firebird or GP only.

JK stamped by the valve stem denotes 14x7 Firebird and GP wheel. Not GTO.

GTO used 14x6 wheels with JC (drum brake) and JA (disc brake)
