question about my wheels.
they were on my 1986 2.8L firebird when i got it. they are 15.5" outside diamiter. i know they were factory, but i am not sure they were factory in 1986. they look more like 1976. they had washers between the lugs and the wheels if that helps.
what i want to know is:
are they factory?
if so, when were they factory?
what is the RPO code?
what are they called? i have been calling them "snowflake" wheels for the past two years.
the only RPO on my factory invoice to do with tires or wheels is " QYM " wich says "tires, P215/63R13 wl stl"./ does that mean this car originaly left the factory with 13" wheels? i was never aware that 13" wheels were available on fbodys.
here is a photo:

thanks 3rdgenparts. so, since you are the expert as far as re-sale value is concerned, are they worth anything? if i put them on ebay will i be wasting my 5$ auction fee? i want then out of my appartment, i can throw em away or try and sell em. they hold air but have a few dings. they are clean now.

Well since they are just 14's that tells the story on the value.I guess it only appeals to those who want the "snowflake" look but don't have the 15X8 money :wink:

Throw em on "there" for $100-125 and see what happens
