15x7 cross-lace rims. The predecessor of GTA rims. I think they were available on '85-86 Trans Ams and then became available on base Firebirds until the end of the 3rd-gen.

TV sightings and such have been mentioned a million times. I think commercials and stuff from that time period might be interesting, but to just announce that a 3rd gen has been seen on this show and that show is too much.

We have a copy of MotorWeek's test of the 86 IROC-Z and similar stuff will be allowed, however, please don't go down the path of, "I was watching this movie and in the background I saw a black 91 RS". If the right content comes in, we can probably set up a forum for commercials and other stuff.

Man Alex!
I didn't know that game show repeats go back that far on TV!
Was it the history channel you were watching?
Good score!
