86 Trans Am cross lace wheel question

Mid year the 86 Trans Am got a cross lace rim. was it a 15" or 16" rim from the factory? Did it have an rpo code?

16"

The RPO code for them is PW7.

Mantaguy's Trans Am is an 86 and he has the original white cross-laces on it.

My Trans Am has 16s too. No Trans Am or GTA got a 15x7 cross-lace.

Disregarding size, you can physically tell the difference between the 15s and 16s. The 15s have no lip, they aren't dished.
