82Firebird hubcaps what did they look like???

I tried to look at the readers rides but it is not available. I wanted to look and see what the hubcaps looked like on a stock 82 Firebird b/c I just bought a stock 4 cylinder bird today but the hubcaps are missing and I would like to try and get the same style the car came with. the wheels on the car now I guess are original to the car, they look like those typical junkyard steel wheels. anyone have any pics of what mine might have looked like????

nope they didn't look like that. the rims on the car not look like your typical junkyard steel rims that any old hubcap would fit onto.

If your car has gray painted steell rims then it would have had a black plastic center like #2 in the picture. If its just plain black steel rims then it would have a full hubcap like the one in the upper right hand corner.
