Here are a couple of pix of my SX from 1974 when my sister owned it. I got it a couple of years later. ( Check out the wheels) I never realized it had the halo top!

those wheels were the shiz back in the day.

Cool I love those back in the day pics. I wonder how many sets of those slots were sold?

I had a set of those slotted mags on my road runner back in the day. They are even hard to find today with the exception of Ansen. Starsky & Hutch liked them too....

Your SX looked good!

I have a pair of 14x9's and a pair of 14x7's still laying around. Don't know what I'll do with them except a retro rod some day...maybe. Or make a man style coffee table out of them. Back in my bachelor days I used them with the back glass out of a 74 gmc I scrapped for that very purpose, Actually looked kinda cool.

My '66 442 Sports Coupe when I bought it in '93. ET slotted aluminum mags. 14 x 6-1/2 in front and 15 x 8-1/2 in back. Just recently gave them to a friend.
(In case anyone is wondering, the body side molding had been removed)

Now here's a car-guy coffee table!

scubastever

nice! i have a set of those wheels polished up!
i believe theyre :
15x6 front
15x7.5 rear

they are really hard to find in decent shape now, most of 'em corroded or warped out

Nice car. Was the halo roof standard on the SX model?

Chumley

Don't know if the halo top was standard, this was the only Cutlass I knew about back then. If I remember, the front wheels were Ansons, and I believe the rear were USA's, at least that's what the logo was on the center caps. The car was repainted twice when I had it, the second time a dark metallic brown which looked good with the top and interior. I also had BF Goodrich radial TA's to replace the old rubber. G70 14's on the front and G60 15's on the rear. Oh yeah, and you had to have Gabriel hi-jacker air adjustable shocks in the rear. I'm still looking for pictures of the motor that I took. I would like to search for the car, but too time consuming and expensive. I just hope someone has acquired it and realize's what they have. Every time I see a '70 SX I wonder, "Could it be?" Chumley

I also have a set of those . A set of 14x7 with Goodrich radial ta's ready to go on one of my '64's. They were a popular set of wheels to get in the day. Remember the Starsky & Hutch Torino, that made the wheels real popular.

Seen that puppy before, gotta be murder on the hard wood though.

Lady72nRob71

Those came on my car - and they still hold air!
They look quite old, but the ride is still okay...
Is there any advantages to having them if I am not pulling a trailer or making the rear higher than the front?

wmachine

No, the SX was a performance option that didn't include anything that was just trim.
The "halo vinyl top" was the regular C08 vinyl top for '70. Even the big car vinyl tops were halos.

Chumley

Wow, I didn't realize that. So any '70 with a vinyl top was a "halo"? I never noticed on all the '70's I've seen. Chumley

Looks like it would be a pita to get those bottles of "Boones Farm" out of the center bores, otherwise, I like it.
