Seems like the 14" body color steel wheels with full covers were the standard on all BH and BP Barracudas with the 14" rally being standard on most BS Barracudas except for hemi and six pack cars which got the 15" Rallyes standard. My memory isn't what it used to be though and I could be a little off on this.

The Black wheels look cool, i think that Yellow would be to strong of a color to be painted on the rims.  Do you have plans of doing your 'Cuda back to standard Aaron ? :dunno: :bananasmi

my plans for the car are miles away from what the factory built!

Body color wheels were gone after '71, weren't they?  They were all black after '71.

Phooey on the front bumper guards!  I guess that's what my car should have come with, which tells me that a previous owner swamped bumpers on my car.  Good thing too!!   :eek4:
