funny about the rims. I got lucky when I bought mine 2nd hand and the dates married p with my Sandman. Now I have the 7 & 8 inch rims and am caught in 2 minds as to whether to fit them as non original but a better stance and look or stick with the 6 inch originals with matching dates.

Stupid as you say as you can not see the dates with tyres on anyway. I know it is stupid but can not help thinking about it.
