Yup those are known as "cross lace" wheels and were used in different forms on GTAs, Trans Ams, and Buick Grand Nationals. There should be "front" and "rear" cast into the back of the wheels also.

Thanks gents, that’s what I thought. Would these accept the center cap from my 15” salad shooters?

1993-1996 are the ones commonly referred to as salad shooters -
But those are 16's, what wheel are you referring to?

Would the stock wheel caps from my 85 T/A fit
