Interesting Firebird for sale
I have been watching this low mileage 86 Firebird. Only 38,000 miles on it. I have never seen those metal wheels before. The guy started at $10,000 and is now down to $4,300. It looks like a new car in the pics.

If I had the space I would probably buy it at that price but it is a V6.

Re: Interesting Firebird for sale
If the wheels are from a 2nd gen they are called "Rally II", Supposedly they did make a look a like rim for 3rd gens in '82. Crager makes aftermarket wheels that look very similar.
these appear to be Rally II's but I thought they had a different backspacing...
On the car, It looks pretty nice, 38k miles is super low. It seems pretty 'stripped' I.e. devoid of very many options, The wing, and the body side moldings are the only ones I spotted. that exhaust leak though could be a problem. 4300 is, in my opinion high for this car.

Those are Pontiac Rally II rims. They were dropped on the Firebird line after the introduction of the 3rd-gen in '82 but made a reappearance on base model Firebirds in '86 and '87. The colors were reversed with argent silver on the center and charcoal on the spokes.

Interesting. I thought they to fit to well to not be stock but I had never seen them before. So they do appear to be original OEM rims.

Great catalog. That definitely proves the wheel is OEM.
