    Does anybody know the correct wheel code for a 71 GS Skylark with 15x7 rallye wheels? Thanks, Bob

    Bob, I am almost 100% certain it is WM. I say that because my Stage 1 has the original date coded wheels on it, but the car is buried deep in the garage and its all locked up for the night.

    If nobody else comes through shortly, send an e-mail to me at ritc1@shaw.ca (or I'll forget, all kinds of stuff going on right now!) and I will move some stuff and climb under the car for ya...(tomorrow)

    WM it is. Date coded 8 28 70, car was built 8 31 70 (its a very early car).

    I jacked up the back of the car to get the codes, one was the replacement 76 wheel and the other one has a 1.75 oz weight on it, RIGHT OVER the codes!!!LOL So put all the stuff back and then jacked up one front corner (only one I could reach) to get those numbers. Whew!! :laugh:

    Hope that helps.

    later
    Tim
