Please help ID these wheels
 

These are on a '71 Formula 455 I might be buying. Have been on there since mid 70's. Any idea what they are and if they have any special value or desireabilty? I will go back to stock. Thanks.

Too dark to see.

Are there any spokes? All I can see is a black center section, with chrome nuts.

Sorry guys, its not that dark on my screen. 10 spokes, curved. Kind of look like what I remember the spokes looking like on wheels I have heard called "minilites"? I will try to get a better picture..

They look like a Mini Lite knock off, maybe Panasports.

yes, similar spoke style to the minilite. I will get better pics when I see the car again. Any Pontiac experts here? Just learning but seems that '71 455 Formula's are rare...according to some info I found only 350 made! This one is #'s match with a buildsheet.

My guess is they are the wheels manufactured by Western back then that resembled the minilite wheels; I doubt they are true minilites.

-----You can tell by the shape of the bead that the wheel in question is not by the same manufacturer as the Minilite. I agree, its a Western wheel!!!.......Bill S
