There is a reason for that. When the '71 T/A's came out in Aug '70, the 15x7 Honeycombs that had been advertised in brochures were not avail. Then there was the Fall of '70 strike & when Motorwheel started rallyII wheel production back up in early Nov of '70 they cranked out KU coded 14x6's & a few runs of KR's. 15x7 Honeycombs finally came avail in the later winter & dealers started ordering them on a big % of '71 T/A's, some Formula's & on a few GTO hardtops. There ended up being a a big stock of these Dec '70 dated KR's and all A & F plants that used them installed them til supplies got lower. I have a 7/21/71 KR, so obviously Motorwheel ran some at the date, still I've examined numerous Dec '70 KR's on mid production '72 models. Hope this helps.
