What Tires are Which?
Question question: Which rims are these or did they belong to another car?
I have a 1989 Pontiac Formula with what I thought were a set of GTA rims, but I bought a 1986 Trans Am for parts this week and they also have GTA rims, but have a lip on them, which the ones that came on my Formula do not have.
Pictured below are the rims from both cars Rims that were on my 89 Formula.

Thanks Drew! That's why I couldn't find these rims anywhere online. I bought the 86 TA for the engine and other parts. My father had a friend who wanted to buy the gta rims, but now that I know I have actual gta rims, I may see if he will take the aftermarket ones.

That last pic are early GTA style wheels. AKA non-dimpled. The dimple refers to the point where two spokes meet at the rim. Early wheels are smooth/flat/non-dimpled, late wheels have another relief. Not sure it really matters too much, but FWIW.
