Correct steel rims for a '67 Firebird?
I was sorting through/thinning out my stacks of plain steel rims recently trying to find the original rims from a family member's 1967 Firebird 400. They were stashed away years ago and at least 2 of them should still be in the stuff I was sorting through.
My question is 1) How do I ID the correct rims? I have (4) 14x5 GM rims and I can only find a stamping(near the valve stem) on one of them. FYI, that one says "HJ" on it. 2) Does anyone have a good picture of the back side of the correct rims? Thanks I don't want to accidentally sell the correct rims for this car.

My original steel rims on my 1967 Firebird 400 have what is below stamped on the outside of the wheel on one of the 5 raised areas that are just outside of and between the mounting holes. I see no other stamps on the wheel.

Any pictures of the back side of the rim? Forgot to mention also since this would make a difference... It is a 4 wheel drum brake car.

Base OHC6 '67 Bird should have 14x5 steel wheels. No 14x5 wheels were ever fitted on a factory disc brake A-body or F-body. Original '67 & 68 Firebird 400's & Sprint 6 cars will have 14x6 wheels. Either drum OR disc specific wheels were used through the '68 model year. On the early Rally II wheels, '68 factory disc brake Firebirds used the JC coded 14x6 rally II, as the original JC "drum" coded Rally II's cleared the early Firebird specific 4 piston calipers. '67 & 68 Pontiac A-body had a different casting 4 piston caliper & required the early JA "disc brake" Rally II wheel.
