There not oem - why would you bother - there is more aftermarket crap on these
cars - remember the more aftermarket the less the car will be worth

^^^WTF are you talking about. the rims themselves ARE factoary stock from 1983 model year!!! The only thing that is not original are the center caps.

O rly?! So such a centercap would fit? I'm going to have to ask a local guy to stop by with his 8 so I can test that out. They would be nifty to put on my polished Almex's.

Hmm. Marc, when you get them in the mail measure the inlet for the centercap. I want to know what size they'll fit into.

Then I'll buy one and test it out to see if I dig the look or not.

I just painted the wheels to match my car, and then painted the stock center caps to match and filled in the lettering with red. These are very light weight wheels - I highly recommend them.
