    I'm again questioning my past knowledge and have to ask.

    I thought I knew my 15" sport wheel is original and correct, but, I am still going to confirm.
    16" sport wheels were on 1970 GS cars while a 15" was used in 1971 and thereafter?
    Can someone please inform me?

    16's came on 69 and 70 cars. In 71 they went to the 15.

    Did you get points deducted for this too?

    oops or poops?; hey we all make em. The pursuit of perfection is an evil adversary ... but a fun one. Maybe some one will make a trade with you?

    I believe the conclusion is, no trade needed as I have the correct wheel for my car.

    Well, judges are not perfect I guess you could say. I've made mistakes too but that saddens me.

    I hope the point discretions did not keep your car from receiving Gold.

    Troy,

    Was this the '71 you had done by Dave K.?

    That is disappointing, Troy. Sorry it happened the way it did.
