My 70 W-31 uses the 14 x 7 *XT* wheels also. I believe that they were used on all GM platforms that used the 14 x 7 steel wheel in a performance application.

That's interesting, so who knows the difference between the "IF" and "XT" wheels other than two letters. They sure look the same to me.

I'm pretty sure the offset is a hair different, but I'll have to look again. Are you saying that these rims could be termed as correct?

The IF wheels are nearly identical to the XT's but you can tell easily by looking at the wheel center. The vents on the centers of the XT's have corners that curve more sharply to the edges. The IF's vents are more rounded and almost fade into the wheel rim.
I have some of each in my basement and just looked at them. They were also made by a different manufacturer than Kelsey Hayes.
