Original Wheels?

Couldn’t find a good answer using the search so I figured I’d start a new thread. I have a base ‘87 Firebird without a lot of documentation and I’m trying to track down the original wheels that came on it. I have attached a picture of the car with the current wheels, any chance they’re original? RPO code on the sticker is N90.

EDIT: forgot to mention it also has the RPO code for beige wheels

N90 in 1987 were 15x7 cast alluminum wheels

Can't answer the question but that sure is a good looking machine and those wheels are just right for it. I'd hate to have to wash them though.

Thank you so much! And yeah, they definitely aren’t fun to clean but it’s worth the work most of the time.
