Nice wheels, but I am wondering too, was it missing it's original cop wheels?

A 71 Fury would not have had wheels like that. The 6 slot cop wheel came out in 78 and debuted on the B body Monaco/ Fury pursuits/ patrols. C body police cars had "normal" looking steelies originally. Like the ones on this 72:

They were made of thicker steel weren't they?

Yea, unfortunately. I like these wheels though.

Hey fellas, i know the wheels are unoriginal. Not sure what happened to the original steelies, would've definitely used them, though. I decided to use the later wheels that came with the car when i bought it. I think it'll look sharp

I like them and think they'll perfectly fine. Plus us cheap C body guys will use what's available to us.

To the best of my knowlege, my '70 Fury ex WSP car has the "JJ" stamp on them noting the police wheel. But i have seem some reference to an "H" stamp on the wheel noting the "Pursuit" pkg wheel.

A lot of the muscle car ear wheels are JJ

Most of the Rallye's and magnum stle Road Wheels I have are JJs

As I understand it, the JJ identifies the wheels profile from one side to the other

Standard steel rims had the centers spot welded to the rim. Police and HD (truck) rims had a bead weld connecting the two. I am not certain if it is in addition to the spot welds or instead of.
