Some questions that I have:

Are the poverty caps original to 1971 A-bodies the same as 1972 (as on Lloyd's) or the type used in 1970?

Having been unsuccessful trying to locate a 15x7 steel rim that will fit an A-body, I'm considering buying some from Wheel Vintiques as well. Will the correct style of poverty cap fit either 14 or 15 inch steel rims? In other words, are the steel rim dimensions of the portion that fits the poverty cap the same on 14 and 15 inch rims?

Thanks in advance.

I just picked up a set of used 15 x 7 steelies on EBay for $190 shipped to my door, blasted and ready for paint! Here is the sellers info: stefb71. She always has sets on hand!!!!!!
