I'm not really up on the later model parts, but it sounds like a small 
cap "H" wheel for late '60's/early'70's Hemi and 6 pack cars. May be 
worth up to $1000 depending on the date code and condition to the right 
person. Personally, I wouldn't trust GG as far as I could throw him as 
far as paying what the wheel is worth.

Early B "K" steelies were made by Budd and were stamped with rim size 
between the beads, e.g. 15 X 6 K Budd.
