Re: 16" 20 slot Trans AM rims

Commonly referred to as the 'turbo-tech' wheel. The 15x7s were polished with black accents and on 84-87 TA and later model firebirds. The 16x8s were on Formulas and had a silver finish. These are less common due to the nature of fewer Formulas built. There is a different offset for the front and rear, so you know if you ever find some. Much like the mesh GTA wheels. Good luck on your search. Try HawksThirdGenParts. They sometimes get them on wrecked cars and resel them.

Re: 16" 20 slot Trans AM rims

found a set on E-bay for you. auction number is 230124124471. 2 on the left are fronts...notice a little bit larger outter lip and 2 on right are rears. youll need the caps which were silver on the Formulas and hard to find. These need refinishing but its easy. I did my 15x7s on the car and a set of GTA wheels. I used some auto-strip to strip off the clear, a small buffing wheel on the end of a hi-speed drill with a couple aluminum polishes...can use a rogue and other polishing compunds to get a mirror like luster, and finished the edges by hand. Time consuming but not hard to do.

Turbo tech...right.

excellent anayisis....excpet for 1 detail....there was never a 15" version used on Firebirds. They were all 16" (of course that style was used on several Pontiacs in 14" versions)

I missed out on mint condition set of 4 for $200 a few days ago. They were in Candada too!

Mikz86TA Thanks for ebay link but those are FORMULA Rims. 88+ NOt the ones I am after.
