Mike said: to try this site and you might find the 1966 Brochure to let you know if Aluminum 8 lug were available for the Goat! There is also a site for Tri-Power Carbs here that is very good. I left the route to find it in one of the posts I answered to, "not" my own though. Look over where I have been and you will find it. Under" Tri-Power" Post.
I have the Thomas Bonsall "The Source Book" and there is no option for the 8-lug wheels. That's why I was surprised to see them on the GTO in the video. As Keith said, must have been a prototype that never happened.
