I imagine they were Appliance wheels?
(I think Appliance made the Snowflake for Pontiac originally) I bought some Appliance wheels back then that looked almost exactly like the Pontiac ones, except for some minor detail. (can't remember what it was at the moment) They came in different bolt patterns and widths and height.

Interesting John, I did not know that Appliance also sold those wheels under their own brand. It is hard to tell by the pictures posted on the ad, but those sure do look like 15"X7" Pontiac Snowflakes. But now I will have to keep and eye out for 5X5 Snowflakes so I can make the car as my father wanted to order it, now with the Dog Dish's he ended up with. That wagon in the ad looks to be the same color of Chesterfield Brown my Wagon is. But that car is pretty low option.

Also remembered that the wheels I bought had the vari-lug type setup. Could be used for different bolt patterns.
Had 15x10 and 15x7 I believe.

They weren't located too far from where I went to high school in the early 60's. Before they became a major wheel manufacturer they "remanufactured" chrome reverse wheels. A classmate had a wheel come apart on the freeway onramp. Today he would own them, but back then they just gave him another wheel. I had a set on the rear of my car but they never gave any problem, and being young and naïve didn't even worry that mine might suffer the same fate.

I'm guessing that's Linda Vaughn with the Silver Bird?

I love the models of the 80’s like that. Maybe because I was a kid reading these growing up.

For me that qualifies as a "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" item.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
