Need one good five lug rim capable of being used for my spare on my V8 1966 hardtop.  Needs to be unbent in case I have a flat and need to press into service.

Were are the date codes on the rim?

I believe you meant "...or 6MA" (January, 1966), correct ?

The 'M' in the middle or second position of the wheel ID stands for "Motor Wheel Corporation."
First position is Year.
Third position is Month.

The ID is on the radial nub or raised section near the center of the wheel. In this pic at the 7:00 position.

Will this work for you?

If 1966 is considered the first year, then yes 6MA.
I thought 1966 would be the second year, therefore the 6MN.

Your going to likely be best served with rims dated from fall or late 65

Would a supplier use the one year/second year dating?
To them, wouldn't they just use a normal 12 month A-M Ford calendar sequence?
