Does anyone have any pictures of these wheels for 1961...1962 & 1963-1964.
What are the differences. How to identify the 1962 rim? Did the 63-64 rims have a slight ridge to them on front?

The 14 X 6 wheel will have the code JK next to the valve stem. Don't let anyone tell you that they were only on the 409 cars and super sports. While the 14 X 5 was the standard wheel all the way up past 67, all you need to do is make a trip to the junk yard and look for a 61 or 62 station wagon, which carried the wider wheel. Here's a pic of a NOS one that I picked up when I was restoring my wife's super sport. Good hunting.
The '61 14"x6" wheel is different from the others in that it has the little nubs that held the full wheel covers on. Later years didn't have them.
Also, as most people know but few will admit ...they are NOT 409 wheels, they are simply station wagon wheels.
That "NOS" wheel sure looks like it has a slightly rusty tire ring from being mounted.
That is some surface rust on the lips , because it was rolled around a bit. That's the original paper part number still between the beads. What do expect, perfect paint after all these years?
It doesn't matter, it's mounted now, and they are only new once. You seem to have a bit of an attitude about other peoples property. JMO
