There were only a few colors that were avail with color keyed steel wheels no matter what plant the '71 Pontiac A-body was produced in .

I still have the complete original set of steel 14x5.5 wheels & poverty caps off a O5D '71 built Pontiac plant T-37 that I parted 20 years ago. Easily, one of the most unmolested '71's I've ever parted. Also have the original buildsheet. This T-37 was castillian bronze & had original Pontiac-Pontiac poverty caps & the original steel wheels were/are black.

Hauled in & parted a 2 owner '71 T-37 4 door Sedan in 2002. It was original Limekist green with 3 of its original Pontiac-Pontiac poverty caps on original black steel wheels. Don't remember the date built, but was a Fremont built car.

Close to 14 years ago, hauled in & parted a '72 LeMans 2 door post. Adriatic blue with bright door trim. Still had all 4 of its '72 poverty caps & again no color keying on the original 14" wheels, just black.

Have hauled in & parted others, but know these all to be original wheel & poverty cap cars. For over 15 years, everytime have ran across someone who owned an original '71 poverty cap equipped Pontiac A-body, have always asked them if car originally came with Pontiac Motor Division or Pontiac-Pontiac poverty caps. Jack is the only orig owner so far I've run across who has had original poverty cap wheels that were a color other than black.
