I just purchased an H wheel from a gentleman (THANK YOU DAN P. :headbang:) for my 69 1/2 A12 Roadrunner. I have read some of the post here and hope to solve any mystery about these wheels. This wheel is as factory as it gets in my opinion. It is Gloss Black (less than 5% to 10% matte or toned downed). The wheel is painted front, back and inside all the same finish. It has the correct stamp M5/9 1 28 6.0 & H stamp between lugs as it should for an A12 as I've been told. The inside of the rim has a sticker that reads CHRYCO with a part number which is not complete? I am hoping someone with more knowledge can help me solve this little mystery? From the discussions I have read and the people I know, there is some doubt since I open the box and started looking it over. First, I was told these wheels were not very shiny? I heard they should be primer finished then painted on the front with over spray on the back? And, is the sticker just an inventory part number for Chrysler as they didn't manufacture the wheel?

that is not an A12 wheel. The "hub cap" retainer nubs are not dimpled on the inner lip as should be.
The A12 wheels were painted gloss black.

The parts sticker shows it to be a replacement part not installed on the assembly line.

Take a real close look, I know I didn't take a real good picture but it does have the dimples. I have 5 of these now I'm just trying to get a matching set. The wheels that came on my car are dated 4-1-1969. I have 3 of these. I have the one you see in the pic dated 1-28-1969 and a 1970 wheel at my painters shop. I'm really hoping to trade or sale these 2 odd wheels if I can find some 4-1-69 wheels? Thanks and sorry for the bad angle.
