Also, I don't believe these were exclusive to the 64 Lemans/GTO.

Default Rim markings

Attached are 64 GTO rim pics. I have 6 or 7 of these rims, and they were all semigloss black when I got them. They are sealed in primer now. As you can see on the face side, there is a:
GM
65
stamped on one of the nubs. The other marking is KH (standing for Kelsey-Hayes, the manufacturer). I used some white chalk to try and highlight them in the pics. Also note the drilled hole in one nub. This hole location is not the same on all wheels. What I mean it, it's not on the same nub relative to the GM 65 stamps or even to the stem hole. It varies. On the inside of the rim is the 14X6JK, the Kelsey-Hayes stamp, which came out really good in the photo, and another mark, not sure of the purpose. The first rim I tried to photograph had most of the marking quite lightly stamped so they were hard to read. In this rim though they were quite clear. 6 inch width is measured where the tire seats. It's 7 inches from outside lip to outside lip of the rim. These rims have a 4.5 inch backside offset (measured from the hub mounting face to the outside lip of the rim.

I'm sorry, but I only stated I have rims as a basis for markings reference. I do not have any for sale.
