Default Re: Chevy XT wheels GM Wheels

JRSully;

I am fairly certain the the wheel is the same as long as it is date coded late 69 or early 70. Any other year and all bets are off. Actually for a Nova the range of years might be wider.

GM reused codes over the years so XT from 70 might be a steel wheel. XT in 78 might be a aluminium wheel.

This might help PONTIAC WHEEL APPLICATIONS

I have had 2 different styles of XT wheels. The correct ones for '69 have 3 tabs for the hubcaps, and the later ones have 4 tabs.
The other difference is in the slot between where the center of the rim is welded to the outside. On the '69 XT's, there are distinct radiused corners. On the later rims the slot is more of an arc.
I have also had '69 IF's which are identical to the '69 XT's.
