15" Rims
Anyone know of these rims are original to my car? They're 15" and I thought that the 82s only came with 14". If they're original, then what should the caps look like?

It's an 82 firebird s/e. And I knew the style never came in 14", but I thought the 82s didn't have a 15" option
Edit: and I know they look bad, it's a project and rims aren't high on the list while the floors falling through

Those wheels were used in various Camaro models from 1982-92. Mostly Z28s on the earlier years, and only on base model V6 RS's from 1991-92. They were never available on a Firebird.

Re: 15" Rims
An '82 Firebird S/E would have likely come with the Turbo Cast or Turbo Finned rims, either in 15" or 14". Does your car has the WS6 package ?

Re: 15" Rims
Those are Camaro wheels, not Firebird.
They did not come on your car originally.
Doesn't mean they "won't work", you "can't use em", etc.; only, they're different.
Since your car is a S/E most likely they're a better wheel, functionally, than what came on it; even though FAR FROM competitive with anything modern. A Kia Forte probably has bigger tires than what would have come on those little pizza-cutter things that came on these cars back then.
