I wasnt making a mention of the color of the wheel i was talking about how it was painted. the color of the wheels on my former y88 were repainted by me in that picture, paint supplied by hitman. I wasnt arguing that so please dont think i was.... I was talking about how its painted. I also was not stating that only y88's came with black tails rather that all y88's came with black tails never color keyed to the car like early regular 78's were. (non y88) As far as using that car I linked as refference, I could have shot you 100 pictures easily found on the net. my big problem is every single y88 i found on the net has 8in wheels and the only one that didnt were not even gold. I think you missed my points and instead just quick to want to argue rather than reading what i was actually saying.
Here's what you said:
"gold snow flake wheels all except the outter flat edge on 7 in and 8 inch wheels"
Which upon rereading...makes no sense at all. What exactly were you trying to say? My point was there is nothing special about the Y88 wheels. They got the same wheels as the other Trans Ams. It may be that they came with snowflakes, while the other Trans Am's could come with rally wheels. The other thing I was wondering was whether or not the Y88 could be ordered with gold accented rally wheels. That I don't have a clue about (and I don't know why someone would want that).
If you were saying that all Y88's got the 15X8 wheels, I don't think that's true. If you read Joe Bay's Myth #9 you'll see that is a common misconception. Also, check out his picture of "gold fever". It's a Y88 without the WS6 option and it has the 15X7 wheels that have the machined unpainted edges.
The 1978 WS6 15X8 wheel was a one year wonder. In my opinion, it's not as nice as the wheel that took it's place. But my Y88 has those original WS6 wheels.
