So what is the major difference between the diamond spoke wheels from the GTA then on my Base model Firebird, other then the fact that mine are 15" and his are 16"?

The diamond spoke area on your wheels is not flat, and a different design with a machined face, single step machined lip, and other little items.

Thank you. Good to know.

Would anyone happen to have the WA numbers for both shades of gold?

I hate to ask this as I know I read it in a post somewhere previously but.. I can't find it to save my life right now.

I personally have a pair of front crosslace wheels w/o the 'pocket' or 'dimple'. I found them for a steal @ the pull-a-part- ($15/ea since they were aluminium).
They have a machined edge where the lace meets the..... rest of the wheel (on the tip of my tongue but, can't think of it).

I'm in the process of PCing a pair that are similar but, the machine at the edge is not there and they appear to be welded on the backside (like a 2 piece).

Aside from the machining and weld, there is no other visable difference.

The question... what year or is there something special about the '2 piece' wheels ? Just seemed strange...

I can take some crappy pics (upon request) if it helps.

(not sure if any ofthat made ant sense either)
