    Just be advised....although beautiful, you may have a problem installing your 1972 silver center caps on these wheels. These wheels are repro of the 1970 "WG" wheels. The difference is that in 1970 the hole in the center was 2 1/8" in 1971 the hole diameter was changed to 2.0". So when you go to install the 71-72 caps, they'll be loose. The way I compensated for this was to get a large rubber O ring that fits snugly around the tangs of the cap. The O ring takes up the slack and makes the cap fit tight. I installed my caps that way with no problems so far. I got mine from NewstalgiaWheel.com At the time they had a free shipping if you ordered your wheels thru the internet. New wheels make a big big difference. You dont know how crappy your old wheels look till the new ones get installed. With a set of Polyglas GT's to boot, my car looks awesome. Good luck amigo!
