In case this may be of interest to others, below is a list of space saver rim dates I have logged over the years from personal ownership, judging cars, and examples posted online.  I've always been curious about production dates for the Space Savers, 15x7 ralleys, and 450 wheels from the days when I owned way too many and tried matching dates.  Feel free to add to the list of other dates, as I'm sure there are many more.

List updated 6/17/23, with SPDs if known

Tim:
      Could you expand the list, to show the three different tire sizes that were used, so that the list can be made more accurate.  I have about ten different ones that I currently have, for my cars, and some spares.  I would add them all to your list once it has been updated.

Thanks,

Dwight

Great idea Dwight, but not sure what you are asking me to do?  I don't think the forum offers a table format.
