    Hi, recentely purchased a 71 GS 455 and have a couple of questions. Car is optioned with RPO F41 H6, need to know if the heavy duty steel wheels were 15x6 or 14x6, and would they be painted the body color only, or were there exceptions? Car is 62 paint(bittersweet) Also what would the tires have been G or F? TIA

    H6 is just a suspension package. That doesn't tell you what wheels and tires came on the car. That would be V-, and F-. If the car came with 14" wheels, they could have been chrome plated or super sport wheels, both 14 X 6. Tires could be G70-14, G78-14. If 15" wheels, they would be 15 X 7 with G60-15 tires. The Production Order Body Final (frequently found above the gas tank) would tell you also.

    Answered it in your other post; according to a well respected member (heh heh, ‘member’), Bittersweet Mist had black steelies.
