All 86 verts are pace cars, and came with the decal kit in the car (I believe the dealer instaled them if asked to). They had the standard clearcoated 16" wheels with the non painted centers.

86 wheels did not come stock chromed, looks as if someone installed the chrome ones on the picture above.
The below is what they looked like.

86' wheels
I looked in the Black Book and there is no mention of gold wheels being an option.....does anyone know where to find out how many folks selected gold in 1986 if it is an option?

Never heard gold wheels being an option on the '86 pace car. Certainly have never seen one with them either.

There were and I believe are alot of different "gold packages" that dealers offer on various cars, generally emblems and some graphics.
