What were the popular alloy wheel designs back in the early 70s?

Thanks. Any other general types of alloys popular back then on other cars. Just wondering what would be period correct for a 71 142. Considering the ATS alloys, I like them but nothing is really grabbing me.

Look nice.

I like Fuchs but don't get them with the correct PCD so would mean jiggery pockery to get to fit.

Minilite would be period correct. The similar Panasport would be an option.
