Was 1968 122 wheel and hub cap different from earlier models? Please Help!! 140-160 1969

Thank you much for your reply.
The rims that were off of a 1968 122S have the part number 677100 stamped on them. It seems to be listed as a 140 part number, but then since they were in the process of stopping production of the 122 series and because this rim also fit the early 140 would they have stamped the same rims with a different number for both cars?

I guess because I had two friends each with 1968 122's I thought that the differences were better known. I did not know that the wheels I had would not fit the earlier models, as I was unaware as seemingly most others are as well, that not all 122 rims are interchangeable. I did know that the '67 and earlier models and the '68 models did have lots of differences though.

I can understand that by saying a 122 rim that people would usually mean the most common one, but now I have learned that there are actually two different sizes that are both factory 122 wheels. Go figure that I, of course, end up with the ones that people don't usually want.

I would not have bought them had I known that, as I bought them for a '67 which I sold before using these, and I certainly would have disclosed this when I listed them and sold them as well as now the buyer is pissed that I sold him rims that he thinks are not even off of a 122 and seemingly feels that I deliberatly lied to him or am just a complete idiot!! Like I can't tell the difference between a 122 and an actual 140! I am going to refund his money of course, but I just want to be exhonerated I guess from making someone think that I would purposfully mislead them.
Sorry, for the rant.
Just wanted to let you know where I was coming from.
Thanks again.
