Camaro Turbo Fin Rims?

Found these rims on a 1989 Camaro RS. Did a search here and on the net and could not find anything other than Firebird Turbo Fins but these look different. They have a "Chevrolet" imprint on the inside edge so I figured they must be stock. They are 15". Couldn't find anything in the RPO codes. Anybody know anything about these before they get trashed at the yard. Thanks.

Actually, early 80s; but yeah, still 2nd gen stuff. They're 80-81.

Yes I had a bunch of late 70s Z28s back in the late 70s and early 80s. Traded in a 79 one on my 83 L69 car in fact.

Not good for much. Still, REAL narrow, don't take any kind of decent tires. Relics from the Stone Age.

Thanks. Didn't want anything with real history to get trashed.

The only thing I can add to this is that I ordered those same wheels on a new 1979 Z28. It was green with multicolor green stripes and a green interior with those wheels. It was a beautiful car.
