Identify weird '82 Bowling ball cap, even smaller than 14" rim cap
About 10 years ago at a swapmeet I picked up what I thought was a NOS(New Old Stock) 14" rim N89 brushed aluminum "bowling ball" hubcap. The box even had "1982 Trans Am hubcap" written on it. Just last weekend I bought some true 14" caps and the one I got years ago is obviously not for a Firebird.
It measures 11 7/16" in diameter. The lug hut bolt pattern holes and Pontiac arrowhead are even smaller than the Firebirds. On the back are metal attaching clips rather than the molded in plastic fingers on Firebird caps. The part number on the back of the cap is 10017462.
What other Pontiacs used bowling ball rims but a smaller diameter than the already tiny 14x7 Firebird rims?

Let the PRO handle this 
That cap is for a 1982 Pontiac J2000 which had 13" turbo cast wheels.
Some also had pmd seats,But had ash trays in the back and no pmd emblem.

I sold some PMD seats I had in a parts car that had an ash tray in the back and no emblem. They came from an original '82 T/A fully optioned out with some deluxe int. package.
