1987 Ponitac Trans AM GTA center caps?

Do the center caps on the 87 GTA with the WS6 package have the black and gold firebird or are they the black and gold Pontiac Performance Suspension? I believe that it was't until the 88 GTA that the center caps on the wheels were the black and gold Pontiac Performance Suspension?

Black with the gold 'bird.

In 87, 'WS6 Performance Suspension' wasn't on the center caps, just the 'bird. When I got my 87 3 years ago, I thought I had the wrong center caps & learned otherwise, so I never got rid of them.

Thanks that's just one more confirmation that the 87 GTA's did'nt haved WS6 Performance center caps. Every where that I looked at pictures of the 87 GTA they had the bird in the center caps. Thanks for the help.

It will tell you all about the differences in the center caps, as well as the 87-only version of the crosslace wheels.

Are your 87 wheels correct?
