I am almost positive that GM never put the 16" Iroc rims on any regular Z28. That is probably why you can only find Iroc-Z centers for your '86 Iroc wheels. You might could try putting the 15" plastic Z28 center cap emblems in the holes on the Iroc wheels, they may fit.

The only Z28's that came with 16-inch wheels are the '91 and '92. What you can do is replace the IROC-Z center cap insert with the Z28 insert. It is slightly smaller in diameter but will work. I've done this on my 1987 Z28 convertible which has polished IROC-Z wheels. I did not want any mention of "IROC-Z" on this car.
