What's the Color of Your 85-87 IROC Center Cap?

There were three colors from 85-87: Gold, Silver, and Red.

I'd like to know the color of your wheels (gray or gold), center caps, decals, and body color.

Re: What's the Color of Your 85-87 IROC Center Cap?

Is the question what peoples center caps are or what they were from the factory? From the factory it went;

Gold wheels/gold door decals = gold center caps
Silver wheels/red decals = red center caps
Silver wheels/silver decals = silver center caps

The only way to get the gold centers was with gold wheels and decals. Silver and red centers came with silver wheels. And when i say what color the center cap is im referring to the lettering. All center caps from 85-87 should be black with the silver/red/gold iroc lettering. From 88-90 i think all the centers were the same and kind of a silverish color instead of black.

But to answer the question posed; my former iroc was an 86, gold wheels and decals, gold lettered centers, dark red metallic paint code 8748 i believe.

If you go to Modern Day Muscle's site they list a NOS wheel cap for the 1988 Irocz that is black with a gold ring around the exterior and gold Irocz writing on a black background. On the same page they also list the silver cap with the black Irocz writing. They've also got many other NOS caps for Z28 and sport coupes.
