I have only seen 16" Buick sport wheels on the later Buicks. I have never seen one on a Chevelle.

Did it have a small recess running around the inner edge, facing the driver?
Fuzzy picture, but this one has the recess I mentioned.

It's my understanding that this is THE correct wheel for the `70 with NK1 option. The one that everyone puts on to replace their cracked one is usually designed for the Corvette.

Got any pics of the wheel on the one you went to see. Hey how about some info about it's L89 status!!!

Are you guys saying that THIS ISN'T the correct wheel for the 70 Chevelle, but are saying that the Buick THUMB GROVE wheel IS correct??? I thought the 16" Thumb Grove wheel was only used on the 69-70 Buick GS.

I'm just saying that it MAY be correct for both the Buick and Chevelle in 1970, but I'm not positive.
I was told years ago that this is the correct NK1 option wheel for the Chevelle. I never researched the Buicks to know if they were the same or not.
My `70 LS5 car is supposed to have the NK1 as listed on the buildsheet, so I'd like to get some others input on this.
