I wouldn't mind having a more correct looking set of wheels as well. I've been using Dippy wheels to fill my 15x7 needs.While cheap and plentiful they don't really look right.
It was a combination of spending the kids college fund and hiring the CIA to get these date coded beauties on my 71.  I just can't bring myself to do it again. My V code black R/T is coded for steelies and dogdishes and I want to pull them together but I want to go with the new L60 'glas shoes out back.
Hope someone can shed some light on this..

I agree. Unless you could get it with a station wagon or was part mandatory tire for a towing group?
I bet nearly the same or more 70-71 cars came with 450's than 72-74 came with optional G60-15' Polyglass.
But then there is supply and demand.

....yes but a 070 sells at 1/14th the price of a 450.
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

I believe the above statement to be true.
How many have ever seen or owned a set of 070's. I would value a nice clean original paint 070 at closer to 1/3rd the price of a 450 wheel than 1 14th, which I hope Troy meant to type as 1/4.

I must have sent 15 of those wagons to the durby and crusher. And I found this out now!

Miguel: That exact rim was not available on a wagon. They used a different rim for wagons, I think they were 15x6.5.
Oh, I feel a little better now. Still, my buddies used 100's of those mid 70's rims for wrecking the durby cars for the last 25 years. Who knows what they could have been.

The 070 wheel is close , but it is still a 15 inch center in a 15 x 7 band. Where as the 450 wheel is a 14 inch center in a 15 x 7 inch ralley wheel band ( dropped center band ). Yes the repop 450 wheels can be made , finding the right 14 inch center is the hardest part for me. Frank

Sorry, but that is incorrect. The 070 has the same 14" center section. I have both 450 and 070s and there is no visible difference between the two outside of the part number and dates.
