Odd wheel question

[cspringall]

OK. I spent 8 months sourcing 1968 15x6 JK Steel Wheels for my 68 Hemi Super Bee. Finally got them all, and one has a larger valve stem hole than the others.

Any idea why that would be? Were there different valve stem sizes and I am just now realizing it?

Any info is appreciated!!

probably drilled for a racing slick tube.

LOL. Hadn't though about that. But if that's a drill job, they did an amazingly good job.

I may have 2 of them. What info do I need to look for other than 15x6 Jk?

I'll post a pic of the wheel in question tomorrow. I appreciate any help possible.

I'm just trying to figure out why there are different valve stem sizes, and what they are.

Ford Rims from yesteryear used the Larger Base valve stems.

There are a couple of different diameter valve stems out there, but only one size was used factory. My guess is it has been drilled out to what ever someone came up with at the time.
Now being as I also own a 68 hemi bee lets see some pictures and specs on the car!!!!!
