I wouldn't be surprised either way; 72 or 74. I know they moved into a new facility in 74, but think they had been producing wheels on a smaller scale befor that. Could be wrong. Lots of fuzzy memories. But, I think those smooth ones (without the exposed rivets) slightly pre-date the "auto drag" with the exposed rivets.
The early ones have both ford and chevy bolt patterns, designed to use beveled lug nuts. Because of the larger center caps, the dual pattern and standard type beveled lug nuts did not show. The later ones (dubbed "auto drag") use the shank type lug, and a small push on cap.
I have auto drags on the Z.
