S10-S15/Pre-4th gen Camaro-Firebird. That is basically it. Just make sure the bs is shallow enough & your good to go.

Re: Compatible rims for 1989

Some are real Vette wheels w/adapters to make them fit, but a few might be direct fit ones to.

Personally? I'm a fan of finding a wheel that fits instead buying wheels you think you like then buying adapters to make them fit. I just think that there are WAY too many wheel choices available to "settle" for wheels that need other parts to make them fit. Think about the cost of the Vette wheels + the cost of the adapters vs just wheels that are direct fits.
