Were Chrome Magnum Wheels Available on 1969 Cars?

I have a set of chrome magnum wheels that were on my 1969 Charger SE when I got it back in mid 1981. I know this wheel was on the 1968 cars, but were they carried over to 1969?

At one point I bought a 5th one from a local junkyard to mount the spare tire on, but never did. I saved all 5 of them in my garage when I found a set of 15" Rally wheels because I wanted larger tires back then. I eventually sold the car, but saved the set of magnums & never used them.

Also, I recall from reading that there are stamped numbers on the wheels representing date codes. Where are they stamped?

Thanks.  :cheers:

The correct ones for 69 also had stainless trim rings.

IIRC dates on chrome Magnums were on the inside hoop, the part that's covered by the tire.
Road wheel (trim-ringed Magnum) date codes were found on the backside of the wheel hoop (brake side) close to the outer wheel lip. There would be an "M" with a number next to and below it (the number below is the year). There would be two other sets of numbers next to that, each representing the month/day.  :cheers:
