Jack L Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Trying to ID mag wheels in old kits . 64 Buick Wildcat has a set of Formula five wheels , 66 Vette conv. has a set of Cal Roadrunners and the 65 Corvair has a set of G.M.X. wheels . Are they real wheels and who made them. Been looking at old 60s mags with no luck . I did ID lots of old wheels that were in kits . google is not my friend - no luck thanks Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you poke around on some Buick forums you would find the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Like Casey says, the "Formula Five" wheels in the '64 Buick are actually the Buick rallye wheels. New for that year. This is the only time I've ever heard them referred to as that. The proper Buick term for them is "styled steel road wheel".

pack rat Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I Googled "GMX Corvair wheels" just for kicks. Here's one of the results; the 1965 "GMX Stiletto" concept car. I believe GM debuted this car at the NY World's Fair. One mystery solved.... Edited November 17, 2019 by pack rat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
