Default Re: 14 x 7 IF wheels

The XT and IF wheels were built off of the same blueprints. I have heard that some of the Los Angeles built 69 Camaros show the IF wheels on their build sheets. Most common use for the IF wheels were Pontiacs. I have personally pulled quite a few off of 69-70 Grand Prix's w/hubcaps.

I had a very orig 69 SS 396 Camaro that I bought off a elderly couple that had Mag style hubcaps and it had both XT and IF wheels. I'm sure they were orig to the car.

The explanation of IF wheeld being used on Pontiacs GP's with the deep wheelcovers makes sense. I had a 72 Cutlass with wire wheel covers and they would fit on a IF wheel but not on an XT wheel. though very similar to the naked eye, the Hub of an If does heve some differences compared to an IF.

I recently acquired a full set of five IF wheels that were original to a 1969 Grand Prix hubcap car.

I have had both side by side and could not see any difference.

My 69 SS Camaro (Van Nuys) buildsheet show the IF code on it. There were at least 2 different suppliers of IF wheels. NT or Norris Technologies and M (??cant remember the name). There are subtle differences under the hubcap and the stampings between IF and XT. Dimensions are exactly the same.
