They do look the same...... the difference is that the 1987 wheels do not have the little triangle-shaped indention at the base of each spoke where it meets the chrome part of the rim edge.

That's the difference....

there is NO 87-92 style...

there are 2 styles...

1. 86-87 style- have a ridge around the outside lip.
2. 88-92 style have "Dimples" at each spoke end.

My '86 has the '86-'87 style.

here's the difference:

86-87 style=


88-92 style=



see the difference????
