When did Pontiac start shipping T/As with honeycombs in 1971?
I was sorting out some wheels and found a 8 27 dated 1971 honeycomb wheel. The code stamped into the rear outer lip read MI-0 and 8 27 KP. I didn't think the honeycombs were available until around the start of the year.
I have a set of wheels taken off a 71 T/A dated MI-0 11 30 with the spare dated 12 14, all with KP stamped. That fits with when I thought the wheels were first available. For those of you with honeycombs on your cars, what are your build dates? Mike |

Honeycomb wheel question
I realize this is a very old thread but I am looking for some help. I have a set of honeycomb wheels that have M1 5 12 on the back side of the rim. I cannot find any other numbers. Any clue how to decode this? These are on my 71 TA.

Missing a digit possibly?
Check this out: Rally Date Codes Should apply to the Honeycombs I believe. If the '1' is below the 'M' the date is May 12th 1971

thanks for the reply...took a pic and it looks like there is a number or letter below the M1---either a G or 6. Still cannot locate the letter code.
I know on the Rally's its on the outer rim and is easier to see. I'll keep looking but so far nothing. Could the letter code be where I need to dismount the tire? I doubt it would be in the front of the rim since its polycast. |

Just TA's or Firebirds in general? Always find it odd that every single Camaro is not referred to as a Z-28.
