There are honeycomb wheels and there are snowflake wheels. Which is it? Here's a photos of my grandmother's firebird with honeycombs. Are these what you are talking about?

Hi steve,,thanx for the quick reply,,,,The wheels are still in the wreckers,,but I remember right the wheels in the picture you posted are not the same ones,,its the snowflakes ( I think) that are at the wreckers..
Are they worth picking up if they are 14 inchers. pacecar |

Most 14" wheels like that are not very rare. The ones you may want to watch out for are the gold center 15" that have a recessed center which also will have a Approximate 1" wide lip on the outer wheel before you get to the center. They are 15 x 8 off a HO Trans-am.
The ones in the pic on the Blue Formula 400 are just 7" and are releatively flat out the outer rim. Steve here in tulsa can give you the part # and more detailed info. Pantera

Thanks
Steve Those show the value difference between them. The 8" ones are kinda rare. Don't see them often. Pantera
