ok well i brought home the rally rims , came with rings and center caps. some scrathes on the rings but and center caps are good for a driver. well here is what i ran into.. on the code info reads as follows next to the valve
K19 2 14 ^D , the inside of the rim says 14x6 JJ K19 , on the number next to the valve the two lletters is hard to make out but they all look the same like a upside down V and what looks to be a D .. on the code info there is nothing about these letters. i bought a code book and it says a 14X6 JJ is for a 67-68 rally stamped XB disc , so now im lost as these rims came off a 69 rs car, car is original and the rims have rust on them but the car had more. any help of what i really have bought ??? thanks everyone

Sometimes the letters are hard to read with the rust... The JJ code inside is the code for the center part of the wheel. Lots of rims use the JJ code for this piece. The code near the stem is for the assembled wheel and indicates the backspace, etc.
Your code indicates that it was built on Feb 14th, 1969 so it was for a '69 but the letters don't make sense for a Camaro. Should be either XN (drum) or XG (disc). You may have another GM rim. I'm not sure what the correct backspacing/offset is but it may be different.

Is it possible, your code is AE or even a partial "XB"? If so, the backspacing is diff than those used on a Camaro.
This page will tell you how to measure the backspacing:

thanks chuck for your help, well these rims werent what i was looking for , i did more work on the 3rd rim and cleaned it up more and you can see more of a "B" on that rim so they are XB code on the rims, so ill just sell these and start looking again , thanks !
