Convex 20 slots wheels. Worth what you can get for them. The crosslaces are much more.popular and go for the most money of the factory wheels. These are unique to a single year iirc, but still not very valuable

I had those on my '87 Formula and I'm pretty sure that was the only year formy that they came on. Consequently I love those wheels and disslike all the other Formula wheels. I think they came on 84-86 Trans Ams in varying colors (charcoal inserts, gold inserts, white all over, etc).
No idea what they're worth, though!

Re: how much are these firebird rims worth?
I also have a set in similar condition. In their present condition, I was considering $350-$400 for the complete set. As I wouldn't want to gouge any Firebird enthusiast, I think a $100 a rim is fair value. From my research, these don't seem to be all that readily available and rims without any curb scars will have a higher value. I believe they could be also refinished to new appearance for under $200 and then a new owner would have OEM wheels specific to their breed for $600, less money than most sought after aftermarket wheels and to those who wish their cars to remain true to form, these are destined to be sought after.
I always kind of wondered what they would look like as a high polished set too and thought they might look cool that way on my car. The one's I have were taken from a 1985 Blue and silver Trans Am when I purchased them used for second set of rubbers.
I could be swayed to bring them to Crete IL Thirdgen fest 2012 if anyone is interested.

Unfortunately, they are worth much. We usually sell decent sets for $125-$150 per set and they don't even sell fast at that price. They were first used on the '84 15th Anniversary Trans Am and then were used from 85-88.
