Double hump riveted wheels 53-56

[Chris H.]

I wanted to start a new thread because the other one got confusing and my question may have been missed.

My question, does the 53-56 riveted wheel have the double hump? I know the correct 56-62 welded wheels do.

thanks

Hello Chris;
Anecdotally, up to and including '55 passenger car wheels are riveted, while '56 are welded.
Don't know if there was a "rolling model change".
Passenger car wheels facilitated small "dog dish" hub caps.
Maybe someone else will chime in on Corvette production.
