Spoke Rims

Does anyone know if 90s spoke rims will fit the factory olds rims on an 83 / 88?

The only 90's spoke type wheels I can think of would be front wheel drive wire wheel covers, which IIRC are made of plastic.

I don't see why those wouldn't fit onto a RWD 15 inch steel wheel.

However ... whether or not you would be able to retain the locking feature would be another matter.

There is a "star" shaped piece held on by 3 of the lug nuts that the wheel cover locks onto.

These vary between RWD & FWD.

The FWD ones are relatively flat ... kind of like a coffee cup saucer flipped over.

The RWD ones look like a small tower ... or a small can on "stilts".

I am not sure you could use the flat FWD wheel cover with the RWD tower type of wheel star.

What's on the car now ?.

The original factory optional wire wheel covers (metal) look the best IMHO ... if you have steel wheels.

But I suppose a 90's wire wheel cover might look better than the standard plain wheel covers if that's what you have now.
