Re: parts
Jim;
'Best' is a subjective term, since I like my whitewall's the best [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I know they are not the most popular, but I can deal with that. I think it adds to the humility factor when you dust somebody! Pete; I don't have your GM of Canada sheet here at work, so what's the RPO code for the lettered tires? It must be something unique to Canada since the US cars couldn't be ordered with anything but whitewall or blackwall in '70. I can't attach the sheet of a loaded '70 L78 on EBAY, (it's too big) it has PL1 (?) for the white striped tires. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1872871878

Re: parts
Chuck;
The Novas' standard 7in steel wheel was an XT code.

Re: parts
You Deuce guys need to stay away from *our* Olds W-31 XT wheels !!! It's hard enough to find them in decent shape. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img] Just put IF 's on it. They *look* the same ........ [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: parts
Hey now! Us Deuce guys only use the XT wheels for the spare tire, Don gave us Magnum 500's for the 4 corners - about a 1/2 pound weight savings per wheel, multiply by 4.5 (?) since it's rotating mass, which gives an effective weight savings of about 9lbs (?)

Re: parts
One here ..... one there ..... they all add up. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]
On that note - were the Magnums also 14x7's ? (I'm assuming). From my cough-cough Mopar experience with Magnum 500's, they always *seemed* heavier than a plain steel wheel of like size. Those pot-metal center caps are heavy. It's interesting that they are actually lighter than a steel wheel. As a matter of fact - - speaking of Mopars - - a 15x7 Rallye wheel (you know, the ones you see on Cuda's and Challengers all the time ..), fully dressed are DEFINITELY heavier than a steel wheel, including the button cap. OK - sorry to bore you with the Mopar factoids ..... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]
