89 gta center caps

My GTA with the 16" gold spoke rims didnt come with any center caps. I'm wondering if these are the right ones?:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...item=593026150

Thanks.

You should have the Performance Suspension pkg w/the GTA option (lil badge on dash under glove pocket)

The caps you are looking for should say WS6 in the center and say pontiac performance suspension around the outer edge of the badge & be gold. If I had my camera here I'd take a pic of the extra gold ones I have somewhere out in my work bench to show you.

Ahh cool, thanks man. I'm betting they're expensive from GM so I'm going to wait it out with ebay.

That center cap in the eBay link is the one that was used on the 1987 GTA. The 1988-92 cars used the previously mentioned black "WS6" cap.

The WS6 logo caps are getting hard to find in good condition.... I don't think the centers are available from GM anymore. The actual cap is the same from 1985-92..... Firebirds and Trans Ams used them too. Formulas did also, but they were silver instead of black. The caps are available through GM at about $15-20 each.

You can expect to pay some serious money for them off of eBay as well; I've seen sets of the "WS6 caps" sell for more than they cost new through GM when they were available. But perseverance should net you a set of them soon enough.

Good luck!

I'd be willing to get rid of this extra set I have
