Hello, I am wondering if any one can help identify these wheels. They came on the 1988 trans am i bought a few years ago. but the wheels i see on other trans ams from similar years look alot different. can any one help?

 

if they are 16X8 they are stock for GTA's. whether thats what came on your car i dont know

 

They are 16x8 all other gta wheels ive seen have the lacing through out the lug nut area and these are smooth so I wasnt sure if they were original... thanks for your help

 

Those aren't stock. They look to be an aftermarket remake/copy of the GTA rim. the GTA rim has the cross lacing all the way around the lug nut cutouts and around the hub, they don't stop and go solid like yours.

 

no those wheels are not stock. As said above they are a poor reproduction of some sort.

Here is a picture I took of the stock GTA wheel on my 88 GTA. Keep in mind there are two styles of crosslace, this is the 88-92 diamond spoke version.

 

those look like the rims off an late 90s till mid 90s boniville

 

Yes very close, but Bonevilles were FWD so the hubs would be smaller. Just a cheap repoduction rim.

 

What does the OTHER version look like and what is the difference? I have heard it is the small dimple on the bottom of the large spoke. How much fun is it to clean 80 holes X 4 after any car show.

 

This is the 87 style crosslace wheel. You are correct it does not have the dimples, and the dish has a different finish on it.

 

Believe it or not the wheels in question are acturally O.E for the Jeep Cherokee Country and Limited packages during the 90s up til 1997. they were cheap answers to replace T/a wheels since they have the honeycomb feel to them

 

get out much? lol good catch

 

lol I'm nearly an expert when it comes to mopar. My dad works for Chrysler so i know a lot about Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Plymouth

 

Good thing you drive a Chevy tho, otherwise you would be putting all that expertise to work too much trying to fix them hahaha!!

 

They look like old Enkei's to me.

 

Nope. In your pic the outer most spaces between spokes are solid. In the wheels he has they are open. Similar but no cigar.

 

And Jeeps use a differnt bolt pattern. 5x4.5" IIRC.

 

hmmmmmmmmmmmm so where did the mystery wheels come from.. sounds like a fun trivia

 

Pontiac TGP???

The wheels in question I believe are either enkei 92s or american racing (A.R.E) replicas. If they are either of those, the brand should be cast into the backside of the wheel.

 

These Came on a 1984 T/A I bought last week.. Just thought Id ad to the confusion.
