What does ------ (Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.75 or 5 x 120.65, Rim Width: 8J, and Offset: 4) ---------- mean? I am trying to find Kelsey Hayes ralley wheels for my 1972 Corvette.

Re: 1972 wheells
Jerome, as soon as the new 70-72 TIM&JG (judging manual) is printed (someday, someday soon), you should get one...more originality referenced there than you ever wanted to know about. If you are not a member, you don't have to be a member to buy from the NCRS store...you just won't get the member discount.
Original 72 rally wheels are 15" OD X 8" wide, and will be stamped around the valve stem hole. The example shown on page 47 of the Third Edition 70-72 TIM&JG is: K-1-0 10 (Valve Stem Hole) 16 AZ.
The wheels mounted on the car are not judged because the trim rings cover up the date stamps...for those wheels, later replacement rally wheels will work for judging. I would try to get the "high point" weld BB on at two maybe three of the wheels.
For judging or strict originality, the spare wheel will need to have the date (10/17/69 in the example) within the six months prior to the cars build date. That means your wheels should be stamped K-1-(1 or 2), depending on early or late 72, month and day within the six months before your cars build date.
