Kenth - that's what I'm struggling with. My research agrees with yours, that the KT was first used in 1972 model year. I have a set and the Motor Wheel manufacturing date code is Nov 5, 1970. Not a guess on my part, the production stamping is perfectly clear. Assuming the 1972 model year started in the fall of 1971, it's hard to believe the wheels would have started production a year ahead of time. Maybe the KT was intended for an earlier release and so Motor Wheel got started with production but then the wheel was delayed until '72 model year. That's a stretch, but that's all I can assume occurred.
Still wondering if anyone has observed this wheel on '70 or '71 model year cars.
