Re: came with car

Pontiac Rally II wheel

I have seen them on 84-85 Firebirds and they appeared OEM, but I'm not sure. Mostly I saw them on late 60's to early 80's Pontiacs, in 14 or 15 inch sizes.

Re: came with car

They were factory for '86. Wheel Vintiques offers them in a 15x8. If that seems good, then get a zero offset, which is a 4.5" backspacing.

Re: came with car

I've seen them with those center caps. The key is they need to be painted properly and without the fat trim rings that it has now.

The nicest ones out there are painted up like stock and I think they look better with no trim ring at all.

Re: came with car

Hi Bobby,those wheels were standard on the 86 Fire Bird,they are the 15" RallyII Wheels and Trim Ring.This pic is from my 86 Pontiac Sales Brochure.I don't know if they were color coordinated to the car tho.can't find any literature on that

Re: came with car

thats it in the midle fold! I thought the had a pontiac shape in the design.The black in the center of each spoke is sort of tear drop shaped.The paint looks to be orignal and un touched.Good stuff!

Re: came with car

Pontiac used many similar wheels throught the 70's on some of the firebirds, and also some of the grand prix...http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/1976-Po...628_pi10825197
