I believe the wheels in question ARE 87 GTA wheels.
The ones pictured just above AR 88-92 wheels

1987 GTA wheels, not quite like what the O.P posted.
and they didnt make the GTA until 1987, not sure if the wheels were available before that or not, but i was under the assumption that the gold cross laced wheels were introduced in 87 along with the GTA

Re: Are these early 3RD gen GTA wheels?
Well I googled "Jeep crosslace wheel" to see the validity of the post above and checked the images and found a wheel just like mine.
Clicked the pic and it lead me to a link from this forum.

The set I posted, in question are in fact Riken wheels which fit a 3rd Gen.
