Nope,
Not Snowflakes.
They are called Turbo Hi-Tech, and are 15x7 inch.
They come on Firebirds and Trans Ams.
There is a 16 inch version that has fake allen-head screws around the edge, to make it look two-piece, but they are really a one-piece wheel.
The Turbo Hi-Techs are fairly common, as they came on cars starting in 1984, and up to 1992.

Like I stated above, these are very common wheels. I myself, have over 3 complete sets.
Your best bet, is to hit the local junk yards, and not have to pay shipping for these. Shipping is around 20 bucks per wheel, plus the price of the wheel.

Just trying to help,

salad shooters are on 4th gens... don't jack the name... that's like the other guy calling them snowflakes... they're for 2nd gens. GTA wheels are referred to as crosslace wheels. ETC ETC
