What wheels are these?

I'm trying to find out what wheels these are, I think I've seen them refered to as the Turbo Wheels, but I'm not sure.

<img src="http://www.pushtovent.com/wheels.jpg">

Also, what type of center cap would this wheel take? Every center cap I've seen said they are not compatible with the "Knight Rider" style wheels. Which is what these are, right?

Thanks in advance for any help,
-Chris

This link will answer your questions, Firebird bowling ball caps.

About half-way down the thread there is a good picture of the hubcaps installed on the wheels.

Hmm....

I really hate the look of those bowling ball caps.
Is there anything else I could put in there?

At least I know they're the Turbo Rims.

I'm 99% sure those aren't turbo cast wheels. they're close, but not quite the same.

Whatever they are, I dig them...
I just wish I could find something to put in the middle, preferably with the Bird Logo on it.

the stock performance suspension wheel that came on the TA's the same years as the bowling ball wheels look a lot like that but a little cleaner and without the notches for the bowling *****.

actually, here's a picture of one, yea, it's really dirty and it's missing it's black center cap, but you get the idea:

Similar angle and contrast

If these are the same wheels, what would the center cap look like?

I guess there isn't a center cap for this wheel.

What the hell, do you don’t even have the attention span of a gnat. Let me drop everything, stop my life and make sure that you’re happy in your stupid thread.

I probably would have taken a picture of one but instead why don’t you get off your lazy *** and do a web search, there’s a bunch of pages out there devoted to all the firebird wheel options for each year, with drawings and pictures of each.

Thanks!

P.S.
Why are you getting so bent out of shape?
