Sorry guys, its not that dark on my screen. 10 spokes, curved. Kind of look like what I remember the spokes looking like on wheels I have heard called "minilites"? I will try to get a better picture..

Another..maybe too dark as well?

yes, similar spoke style to the minilite. I will get better pics when I see the car again. Any Pontiac experts here? Just learning but seems that '71 455 Formula's are rare...according to some info I found only 350 made! This one is #'s match with a buildsheet.

My guess is they are the wheels manufactured by Western back then that resembled the minilite wheels; I doubt they are true minilites.

-----You can tell by the shape of the bead that the wheel in question is not by the same manufacturer as the Minilite. I agree, its a Western wheel!!!.......Bill S

I believe the western wheels are 10 spoke as opposed to the 8 spoke Mini-lites, Carrol Shelby made a knock off aswell, there called Mini-europa...8 spoke, heres a pic of the ones on my 69 Camaro.
