Default Wheel Code

I just looked at one of the rally wheels on the GT-37 and it has the code "KU". Is that the correct wheel code and what do these codes mean?

Do you have a list of which wheels were on each model? Will a GTO or Judge have different codes on the wheels? Is this a date code of sort?

Well since I will never use these wheels again. on the car I decided to sell 6 of the 7 "KU" wheels I have. I don't really know what they are worth so can anyone help me out? Anyone interested in them?

Just to clarify a bit, a very wise man notes that a 71 GT-37 (all A 71 bodies for that matter) would have two possible Rally II codes. JT codes through fall/November built cars and KU's after that. KU's would probably be installed on most 71's because of the fall 1970 UAW strike.

Besides the KU near the valve stem I see an M 5 and 3 2.

Thanks. I will double check the wheels but believe all 6 that I will sell have the same codes on them. I am keeping one for the man cave.
