IROC with 16 inch wheels and hub caps

This spid was posted in another thread and it looks like an IROC with 16 inch wheels (QDZ) and hub caps (P20). Was this possible?

Re: IROC with 16 inch wheels and hub caps

In this case P20 probably isn't related to hubcaps.. at least not full wheel cover style hubcaps. From the other info on the SPID we know it's a 1987 Iroc, black, with black interior. I'd surmise that the P20 code probably indicates something relating to the wheels based on the P in the code. It might indicate the color of the IrocZ logo on the centercap. I'll research it a bit more and post back if I find anything.

Re: IROC with 16 inch wheels and hub caps

Just from looking around, P20 shows up on more then a few rpo lists from 87 Irocs including my own. There's also a couple older posts with the code showing up on a non-Iroc Z28, and some 6 cylinder cars. I can't find any definition for the code other then styled hubcaps, but that doesnt necessarily mean it has anything to do with hubcaps or even wheels in this case. Some RPOs were used on different platforms and had similar definitions but the actual parts were different. For example, N90 can mean 15x7" five spoke Z28 style wheels, but it also means 15x7" diamond spoke aluminum wheels on the Firebird. These dual definitions existed in the same year.

Keeping in mind that the purpose of the SPID is for Service Parts Identification, the best place to find what P20 really refers to would probably be the parts catalog. It may very well mean different things in different years on different platforms, but the catalog may show what part depends on code P20.

Re: IROC with 16 inch wheels and hub caps

I checked my buildsheet and it has P20 STYLE HUB CAP right on the list. I would think that this references the center cap in one way or another. JamesC should also have this if it does refer to the center cap since the 85 and 87 is the same wheel. I can't really speculate what else it could mean. Maybe Drew is right and it has to do with the color of the center cap. JamesC, the center caps are red on your car instead of silver, right?

Re: IROC with 16 inch wheels and hub caps

I've got P20 in my codes also and been trying to decode all mine
since hopefully the build sheet is still under the carpet somewhere

As a footnote,

Thats my RPO sheet in MR396 post!
And the wheels are gold and has black cap with gold Iroc letters.
And since Scott's rims aren't gold has to be another option.

Curious?

Later

The IROC rims had been removed when I purchased the car, so I have no idea what they might have originally been. However, I was told a while back that red graphics got red IROC caps (and that's what I'm currently running). I double-checked the RPO's and there is no P20 listed.

For what the info is worth, the following from Subroc:

Gold wheels/gold door decals = gold center caps
Silver wheels/red decals = red center caps
Silver wheels/silver decals = silver center caps

Re: IROC with 16 inch wheels and hub caps

I found an Iroc with the P20 code and Gold accents. My Iroc has Silver accents. So it's not the color of the cap...

Re: IROC with 16 inch wheels and hub caps

I dug out a GM Production Options booklet (Service Parts Operations/General Motors Corporation/Engineering Department) for the following:

RPO = P20
RPO Name = Hubcaps
Divisional RPO Description = Wheel, Styled

How's that for muddying the water.

I had a moment to check my 82-91 Chevy Parts & Illustration Catalog this morning. I found some interesting facts--N90 would the 15" version:

Cap, Hub "IROC Z" (1988 W/N90, Z28) (Silver) [etc.]

Another:

INSERT, Hub Cap (1987, W/N90, P20)

An interesting side bar is that while the IROC N96, 85 and 86, is shown in the above CD, no hub caps/center caps are shown with them as in other years.

1987 is the only year that shows P20.
