Re: Wheels
This topic is posted under convertibles?
Anyway . . . I'm not sure exactly what you mean. I'll post a few pics (some may not be 3rd gen) and see if any look close . . .

Re: Wheels
Not sure what they are officially called, but they came on all 91 and 92 camaros, even the RS I believe. They also came on S-10s at one point, but I'm not sure they were 16". They have two offsets, front and back and are not interchangeable. They look really nice with the clear removed, mill marks removed and polished correctly.

Re: Wheels
they are commonly referred to as the "91-92 Z28 wheels"
they were offered on all 91-92 z28's and SOME RS's, some rs's got the older 15x7's though
the s10's that got these are SIMILAR, but not the same. they got a different offset that is between what the factory thirdgen offsets are front to back. they still fit, but stick a little further out out back (which that is fine anyhow) and a little further in up front. they also got a different centercap, which has a slightly different sized diameter retaining ring, which means thirdgen centers will not work on the s10 wheels.
here's a good example of what they look like when well maintained:

Re: Wheels
I actually prefer them to the IROC wheels, again, especially when polished chrome like. I've done mine and seen some done better than mine and they are very impressive. I'm not positive they actually came with black background, I have seen them mostly in white, but I repainted mine black and I like the look tons. Maybe someone can post a pic of them polished totally out and you can judge for yourself.

Re: Wheels
They don't look too bad when coloured black or grey, but I don't like the other body matched colours (white, red, etc).

Re: Wheels
I hardly ever see them without the black or dark grey (whatever it is) inserts/ spoke "grooves".

Re: Wheels
Those wheels with the red cracks on a red car is the ultimate. NOt sure why people hate them so much but they are going to be hard to find some day since everyone gets rod of them and they end up on ****-mobiles.

Re: Wheels
I may be off base on this one, but I am pretty sure those wheels are the key part of the "Heritage Edition" package.

Re: Wheels
#3 is actually the 35th Anniversary 10spoke Camaro wheel, although they look similar to Cavalier wheels, these are 17". And yes #4 are C4 Corvette "Salad Shooters".
What's funny is that those '91/'92 Z28 wheels also came on certain S10's, although the backspacing is just a tad different.
