JW/KR Wheels- How Late Were They Used?

Just wondering if there is any defined date when Pontiac stopped using the 15" Rally II's with the 14" centers. I'm almost positive that the newer-style wheels were in production for the 1973 model...

I found a set that someone had built, using the 14" centers and the 15" rims. They look really good, but I'm going to re-blast them (plastic media- nothing too abrasive), so that I know what is...

An INFINITELY better option for adding A/C is to get an aftermarket system, like from Classic Air. Under the hood, they can be all but unnoticable (except for the new-style Sanden compressor, which...

I saw those, and while at first glance they look interesting, they do appear to not have sufficient depth in the honeycomb areas. As in, the honeycomb is about half the depth of original polycast. ...

Ditto Tin Injun- aluminum at least until mid-year, as I recall.
All of my 1970's (3 with A/C) were built in late November- and all have the aluminum A/C bracket.

It sounds like Van Nuys used about the same method as I have seen from other assembly plants for the 1970 model year. I have a 1971 engine, that came out of an A-body built in Pontiac. That engine...

If I were to order a set of the 200S wheels, they would be the ones with the as-cast centers.
I don't care for the fully polished in the least, but I absolutely love the gray cast centers.

Everything depends upon condition. If it's in average, typical used condition, $100 to $200 is about right. This is assuming no kinking, and minimal rust. These often rust from beneath, even on...
