I know 15" Rally IIs and Honeycombs were available in '71, but what about 15" steel wheels? If not on A-bodies, maybe on Grand Prix?

I know there was a 15" steel wheel option available in 1970 on Buick GSs. Maybe 71-2 as well. I have not seen where it was available on GTOs though. Don't know about GPs.

Didn't a lot of GPs have wheel covers? But maybe those were all 14"...maybe on SJs with wheel covers?

On '71 Pontiac A body's, the 15x7 rally II (code KR) & the 15x7 HC along with G60x15's became optional on GTO hardtops little after the first of the 1971 calendar year. this was after the prolonged Fall of '70 UAW strike that stalled out usage of many many parts, thus an extreme early such optioned '71 GTO hardtop, with G60x15's, may have a set of KN's mounted on it.

Have yet to find any evidence that a plain 15x7 steel wheel was avail on any late build '71 GTO or late build '71 GrandPrix. My reference material includes the '71 Pontiac A-body Assembly Manual which lists revisions to 3/25/71, many '71 sales bulletins, as well as several early dated master parts books, which by late '72 had an error listing the AH coded 15x7 wheel. For '72 model Pontiac V8 2 door A-body's, (exc converts), the 15x7 steel wheel popped up occasionally as original equip. Have been lucky to examine two fairly original '72 WW5 GTO's that had them. Chasing parts, the majority of AH coded 15x7's I managed to cull up in the 90's were pulled off '72 GP's in monster country yards or were picked up out of longtime owners parts stashes.

Thanks, great detailed information. I would think the 15x7 steelie as used on those WW5 '72s would probably be the same as used on '73 and later A and G bodies?
