What firebird wheels are these?
I have a 1989 Formula 350 with the original 16x8 wheels which are dished in. A friend of mine gave me a set of pontiac 16x8 wheels that look the same as mine but are dished out. Does anybody know what the dished out wheels came off of?

Re: What firebird wheels are these?
"Dished in"? Got a pic? Not sure what you mean by "dished in".
All the 3rd gen 16" wheels have different backspacing between the front & rear wheels, so maybe that is what you mean by "dished out"? So even on the same year wheels, the front & rears have a different backspacing.
CharcoalBird: What 87-only wheels are you referring to? I've never heard of a 1-yr only Formula wheel.
