Those aren't stock. They look to be an aftermarket remake/copy of the GTA rim. the GTA rim has the cross lacing all the way around the lug nut cutouts and around the hub, they don't stop and go solid like yours.

Re: Are these wheels stock?
no those wheels are not stock. As said above they are a poor reproduction of some sort.
Here is a picture I took of the stock GTA wheel on my 88 GTA. Keep in mind there are two styles of crosslace, this is the 88-92 diamond spoke version.

Re: Are these wheels stock?
What does the OTHER version look like and what is the difference? I have heard it is the small dimple on the bottom of the large spoke. How much fun is it to clean 80 holes X 4 after any car show.

This is the 87 style crosslace wheel. You are correct it does not have the dimples, and the dish has a different finish on it.

Re: Are these wheels stock?
Believe it or not the wheels in question are acturally O.E for the Jeep Cherokee Country and Limited packages during the 90s up til 1997. they were cheap answers to replace T/a wheels since they have the honeycomb feel to them

Re: Are these wheels stock?
Nope. In your pic the outer most spaces between spokes are solid. In the wheels he has they are open. Similar but no cigar.

Re: Are these wheels stock?
The wheels in question I believe are either enkei 92s or american racing (A.R.E) replicas. If they are either of those, the brand should be cast into the backside of the wheel.
