1967 Chevelle SS396 Wheel Option Code Stamp

One of the most unique options about the SS396 was the unique wheels. So much so that there are unique wheel option codes stamped right onto the wheels. You’ll want to look for these if you have the option to have a car that has original wheels. The code to look for is going to be “A36”, and they should be 14×6 wheels that wear F70-14 tires (via Holley).

If the wheels don’t have this unique code on them, then they aren’t the original set. You’ll want to focus on getting an original set of wheels, which is what most collectors go for when they get this car. Wheel codes were a unique thing used back then on classic cars, and the SS396 is one car that you need to make sure to check the wheel codes on.
