Default correct wheel for 68

What would be the correct code rally wheel for a 68 Yenko camaro. XG? or DF?

XG unless it was ordered with option P28 (15”) which I would bet is doubtful.

I would guess it would be DF, due to the fact that all 68 Yenko’s had the 9737 option which included the “15” in rims.

Default 9737

Were all Yenkos 9737 cars? Our copy of the dealer to first owner invoice does not call that out, but does call out power steering, power brakes, tinted glass, special interior group, radio, and 4 Yenko wheels(one piece cast aluminum). Maybe just overlooked?

No. The 15” option didn’t get added until 69 and those were 15x7 not 15x6. I also wouldnt say all 68 yenkos were 9737 cars at least at this point. Someone please correct me if I am wrong on the wheels.

Not all the 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were built from a COPO 9737 Camaro

At least four are listed as non COPO

Yenko added the 5 spoke wheels

Yenko put the Pontiac 5 spoke steel wheel on many of the 1968 427 Super Camaros.

that seems like an odd wheel to use on the Camaro but maybe it wasn't

This wheel was on a 1968 Chevy options pamphlet

I have not been able to find any info on it but it may have been planed as an option for the 68 SS396 Chevelle but was cancelled

Don Yenko may have seen it on an early 1968 options pamphlet
