I believe the 70 CL wheels were more prevalent on the Camaro than the Nova for some reason. Most of the 70 Nova's I've seen through the 70 model year had XT's

CL wheels...
 
Sully is correct about the CL wheels...it was only used on the Camaro SS...the Nova still had the XT in 1970...the Nova SS was the only application for the XT wheel in 70.

The Camaro and Nova both used the CL version 71-72.

Just checked Chevy by the Numbers Book by Alan Colvin
Sully and Wilma you are both correct!

I wonder if it had to do with the small hubcaps used and the retaining nubs on the wheels? The 1970 Nova continued to use the 68-9 dog dish and (3 retaining nub) XT rims while the 1970 Camaro used the new baby moon cap and (4 retaining nub) CL rims. 1971 saw usage of same wheels and caps for Nova and Camaro SS.
