I have these wheels posted for sale on the forum OK..

Had a member say these are not 88 wheels and in fact they are 84-87 wheels. Being the honest kind of guy I am I do not want to mislead anybody. All I know is when I bought this car, these wheels were on it and they are now for sale. I assumed they are or were 88's

Can someone shed some light on what year these are so I can correct a possible mistake?

serving proudly, jeff

Thanks for your service!

They are not 88 wheels, either 16" or 17" which was the popular option in 88. They are the 64 to 87 wheels, IMHO

Sorry

Looks like maybe '86 or '87. my '85s have black centers...but otherwise look the same. Due to the offset change in 88, the fitment is puzzling? The '88 wheel has a style sometimes I'ver heard refered to as "cuisineart" ?

They could be either 16x9.5 or 16x8.5. You will have to measure inner rim to know.

Yeah, the 89's are called cuisinarts . I don't know where GM comes up with some of these names.
