Early big car (Bonneville & Catalina) 15" Rally IIs were also made the same way, however they were 6" wide instead of 7", and also used the big car (5") bolt circle as opposed to the 4 3/4" bolt circle used on the A, F, G, and X-body cars.

By 1973, Pontiac tooled up a larger Rally II center section to be used on 15" wheel applications.
Thanks for clearing that up for me Lloyd.
