The Only Problem I see is it looks like there's a Foot Attached to it ?

Funny as soon as I was about to post that I thought I should retake that because someone will notice the foot ..

I just picked these 15x8 steelies with tire as pictured for $75.00 for the pair. I couldn't pass it up for that.

If anyone can give you information about rim date codes it will be him.

I have 15" repop steelies on both my cars and I still have 14" rims as spares. Someday i would like to find good 15" rims. Nice find!

The rim pictured is a Kelsey Hayes.....Is that rim 2....If so then the K2 is for 72......

A better picture clearly showing those markings and the valve stem markings would make it easier to clarify....
