Ah OK I thought it was the other way around because I see those wheels with the white center caps that say WS6

87 Formulas had the convex wheels, 88-92 Formulas had the concave wheels, aside from some 91.5-92 Formulas that came with black diamond spoke GTA-style wheels.

The convex wheels are neat in their own way. They were the first thirdgen 16" wheel, stock on the 84 15th anniversary edition Trans Am. After 87 they slipped into obscurity. They look good when they're cleaned and polished.

Re: Ws6 wheels or stock wheels?

The 88-92 standard formula wheel is also a few lbs lighter than the 87 formula wheel.

You must have a fairly early 87 formula with it still having the firebird emblem on the fender.
