GM could afford it,,,LOL! I have an NOS teak wheel with paperwork from the manufacturer and I'll go out on a limb and say this white wheel also came from them. I'll post the name later today when I'm out in the cave. Quite a find and very cool....Bill S
EXACTLY what I was thinking too. Guessing it was an extra made maybe for that car? The Fireglow car and the GSX prototype cars both came from Ohio. 15" wheel would be correct for a "70. The Fireglow car has a wheel that looks like the one in the car. Cool find!
