The stick ons were used because they allowed for a more accurate balance. Because of the heaviness and uneven loading of that urethane face, these wheels are very hard to balance to our pickiness level. And I also wanted to keep the weights off the face side of the wheel for aesthetic reasons.

I checked the outer codes on the honeycombs that came with the 72 when I bought it and they are an orphan later set, as well. As I recall i went through a dozen wheels before I found a nice balance-able set that I used for the radials that are on your car now. The next best set were used for the bias ply set that went with the T/A and the really wobbly ones were used for trunk mounted spare tires.
