Has anyone seen wheels like these before??

These are new to me.

They're on an 86 on Craigslist...

Those look like the "salad shooter" rims on my 85 but maybe with a center cap that sits flush to match the rest? (Covers the lug nuts.)

Never seen that before though. I like the black center in my rims.

That looks pretty cool. Definitely never seen that before on a C4. Reminds me of the "bowling ball" caps that came on the 82 Trans Ams.

I wonder if it was an aftermarket cap?
