They used those wheels all the way from 82-92 on the base model Sport Coupe, RS, Z28, and Iroc.

Most of the cheap knock off Ebay caps don't have the spring steel clip inserts. Instead they just have the plastic pins and clips. If you want the caps to stay on the wheels and be the same quality as OEM, look for either used, NOS, or GM restoration parts. The cheap caps WORK, they just expect a lot from molded plastic.

I sold the set of those wheels I'd had since 1996 last summer. My buddy wanted black caps and different emblems, so he got a set of the generic caps off Ebay. They didn't want to fit without breaking. I had to get aggressive with them to make them snap into the wheel. I doubt they'll last many cycles of being removed and snapped back in. The plastic tabs just aren't flexible enough.

Right... 82-87 they were Z28 only, 88 they were Sport Coupe, RS, and Iroc. 89-92 they were RS only. The 82-87 Sport Coupe steel wheels used a different cap that looks similar but won't even come close to fitting those wheels.

Worse yet there are three different 82-87 Sport Coupe caps. 82-84 have the clips on the wheels, 85-87 have the clips on the caps which snap into the lug nuts, and they were offered in both black and gray. Lots of variations to keep track of.
