Re: minilite wheels
If they are the GM 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern then I guess they could be for a Camaro. But I'm not sure if you can fit the 15x10 wheels without some wheel opening modification. I'll have to search through the articles on Penske's car because I think he cheated on the wheel size. Do you have any pictures of the wheels? The new aluminum version is slightly different from the original magnesium wheels. I've got the new heat treated aluminum wheels.

Re: minilite wheels
I took the rims to get the tires removed and got some photos and correct measurements...I originally was told they were 10" wide ...but I understand that the measurement in taken "from inside of rim...to the inside of the same rim"....so I do not believe these to be 10" wide..but 8.5" wide....see photos
...also I think these are "aluminium" and not magnesium. ...and the holes are tappered for the lug nuts to fit. I am posting photos of each wheel.

Re: minilite wheels
How can you tell aluminum from magnesium? I've got a complete set of Cragar S/X wheels from the early 70s. I've only ever seen one ad for these wheels and I've never seen another set like them anywhere. They resemble Torque Thrust D's. They're 14x6. I would LOVE to find a pair of deep dish 15x8 of them, but I don't know if they were ever made. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
