      Um, yeah I see a problem. The "snowflake" wheels were made for late 2nd generations. There were two sizes, 15x7 and 15x8. The red in particular were for the firebird "redbird" package, a relatively low volume style package that came in either Yellow (yellowbird), Red (Redbird), or Powder blue (bluebird). They also were available in both silver and gold for certain editions of TransAms. They were not installed by the factory on a 3rd generation, they are the incorrect offset to work properly. There was a 3rd generation 15 inch wheel that was similar, but that's not it.

      Is that what you meant?

          He appears to be missing a lugnut. He must have done that for weight reduction.

              Yeah the third gen wheels are like the ones i have on the car in my sig, and it is almost impossible to clean in between there, thats the worst part about cleaning up the car.

                  Here's an even worse case!!!

                  first of all that is a third generation cap emblem, second it does not go on the snowflake rims, and that's because, thirdly, the honeycomb rims are neither third nor fourth gen, but in fact second!
