Re: what year?

I'm not an expert, but I think these were available on GTAs from '87 to '92.

Why they are on a Camaro? Probably because some previous owner liked them, and they may have been and " upgrade" to the wheels that originally came on the car.

They are 88-92 cross lace wheels since they are dimpled. Found on trans ams since those are gray or gtas if they are gold. Crosslaces are the only factory wheels imo that look good on both a camaro or firebird which is why they're probably on your car.

I think they are black that are looking gray because they are dirty. They are a b---ch to wash all those holes.

A good ol' soapy sponge and a pressure washer will clean 'em real nice.

Re: what year?

On an old dingy set ive used armor-all foaming tire cleaner. Now.. I wouldn't advise it on a really nicely painted set I don't know if it would damage them or not. But it didn't seem to when I used to use it on another set I used to have.
