The option Included:
-floor shift HD Muncie 3spd (other transmissions were optional depending on engine)
-'72 splitter tailpipes
- specific spring rate springs (basicily same as '71 GT-37)
- G70x14 tires on 14x7 rally II wheels ( with trim rings), code KS (14x7 HC's were optional)
- body colored mirrors
- D98 tape stripes that were supposed to be reflective with the GT cutouts, but some odd things did happen. Reflective GT decal on right rear of deck lid.

Y99 suspension was optional on '72 LeMans 2door hardtops and 2 door posts, and included: boxed rear control arms, front and rear 1 1/8" sway bars, GTO spring rates, variable ratio PS, 15x7 wheels, and G60x15 tires. When optioned on a GT, the wheels were KR's with trim rings.

Sport pkg included Strato bucket seats and the fancy door panels with pull straps, but with he Sport pkg clicked off, there was a way to order a Strato bench seat (has the fold down arm rest)

OPH, I think you meant KS wheels "without" trim rings, correct? My '72 GT does not have them, nor evidence of them, and I have all 5 original KS wheels.

Hey Todd - the "Y99" option included lots of suspension upgrades, as oPh posted above. Also included 15"x7" wheels and G60x15 bias-belted tires. Since the GT option included Rally II wheels, a '72 LeMans GT with the Y99 package would have been equipped with the 15"x7" KR Rally IIs.

Witness the attached Y99 package components from the 1972 LeMans order form.

Okay, that makes sense Lloyd. Thanks.

Mine doesn't have the Y99 package. No rear bar or boxed arms, and the smaller front bar (7/8"?). I have no idea what springs it has. But since mine is just a "base" WU2, I understand that means 14x7 KS Rally II's. In that particular config, I believe it's no trim rings, correct? Just clarifying. Thanks!

You're welcome, and correct, Todd. If not optioned with the Y99 package, 14"x7" Rallys - sans trim rings - and G70 tires would be correct.

One COULD order trim rings on a WU2 car as a separate option, as well.
