Joey,
Welcome to the TDB. Your spare wheel will/should match the wheels on the car...either rally wheels or aluminum wheels. I like a Wix oil filter #51143. Post up some pictures of your car.

Thank you, I ordered the Wix. As for the wheels I assume the car had rally from the factory. When I purchased it the previous owner added the aluminum wheels with starburst center caps. I think that is what they are called. He added these when he restored the car. My car was built April 14,1967 so I ordered a rally with DC stamp dated March, 67 and will just use that for now I guess. Now for a tire, I have redline tires on the car should I put a redline on the spare or not worry about that. Thought?

If your long term goal is to have the car judged then the tires and wheels should all match.....for maximum points.
If the starburst wheels are original GM then you may want to stick with them, even tho they did not come on the car from the factory. There is nothing on the car, other than the build sheet (which isn't judged) that indicate what wheels came on the car.
Original NOS GM aluminum wheels are big$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Joey,
Do you have any of the original paper work with the car? Have you checked to top of your fuel tank for the tank sticker (build sheet)? As Stephen mentioned, spare tire and wheel matched the rest of the car, from the factory.
