Can anyone ID this wheel? It came as one of the rollers on my '65 convertible project so it has a Chevelle bolt pattern. The finned part in the center is actually molded plastic. The flat on the front is stamped Pat. Pend. AN., the back has an H and 061.

Here is a link to a pic of the back of the wheel: http://s664.photobucket.com/albums/vv4/raugusti/?action=view&current=P2220014.jpg

Thanks,

'65 and '70 Malibu Convertibles.

If it's a 15" wheel, I'd guess it is a Monte Carlo Styled wheel. :yes:

I agree 73-77 Monte Carlo

Thanks guys, but it is definitly a 14" wheel, the tire size on it is an F70-14. That rules out Monties I believe.

gotta be a monte carlo wheel-with that rubber/plastic spoke /fin area--gotta be--but 14 inch throws me off a bit.....

did they put those on early base or formula firebirds???? being 14 inch thinking maybe-but cant recall-

Yup, Pontiac wheel was the first thing I though of...

What about a Monza wheel?

I think some of the 78-80 Monte Carlos had a 14" that looked like that. I think there was one that had these wheels at a salvage I went to a couple weeks ago.

Thanks, all that gives me a couple of places to start looking. :thumbsup:

Those are 1973 - 1975 Chevy Turbine I wheels. They are 14" and came standard on 1973 - 74 El Camino SS, plus 1973 Chevelle SS wagons. They were also offered as an option on 1973 - 74 Chevelles with bias ply tires, 1973 - 75 Camaro, 1975 Nova. They are somewhat rare today and would make a 73 Chevelle SS wagon owner very happy.

Chevy made a 15" version called the Turbine II. It was offered on the Monte Carlo 1973 - 77, and was standard on the Landau.

The comment about being a Pontiac wheel is very close to the truth, it is actually a cousin to the Pontiac honeycomb wheel. They are all molded urethane on a steel wheel.

Here's a photo I have in my showroom from the 1973 El Camino brochure (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/showphoto.php/photo/5606/size/big/ppuser/335). Note the wheels on the SS.

i think it a monte carlo wheel

I had a 73 Laguna I bought new with the turbine wheels.

Thanks Cam, that definitely looks like that's it.
