Were there any Yellow GTs shipped with Gold wheels?
I know Formula only came with black lace wheels.

That actually isn't as bad as I expected it to look. Still would look 3243243x better with black rims.

Gold wheels were a no cost option. I suspect someone would have had to have ordered it that way, or have the dealer change it. Probably most buyers didn't even realize the gold wheel option was available.

All 241 yellow 88GT's that were produced came with black wheels. Gold wheels were not able to be ordered with the yellow paint. I have considered gold wheels on my yellow 88 GT 5-speed. It would not tie in with the gray interior they all came with, but who would notice with window tint?

I do not understand why there were no yellow GT's or Formulas with beechwood interior. I have never bought a yellow 88 because I personally dislike the grey interior / yellow paint.

The gold wheels look better than I would have thought as well/

------------------

FM- ALL yellow cars came with GREY. (as I've been told by people who seem to know). My guess on this was because of the way GM ordered things SO far in advance back then. The SILVER color was discontinued when the yellows started. I figure that the grey interior destine for the silver had to go in the yellow. I had a coupe with beautiful beechwood and started to swap it over but decided it was too difficult to switch back if original was desired.
I had seen the TAs with the gold wheels and thought they looked better also. I went and looked at a F355 the other day (yellow). It had black rims and it looked like someone had stolen the tires. I thought it would also apply to my Fiero. I like the addition of more detail in the wheel area. I traded a guy some 16" aftermarket for these Gold rims. I would never bother with 16"s on a Fiero so the trade worked out well for both of us.

I think black looks more Formula-ish than yellow, but the ricers have so over-used black wheels that I'm curious to see gray diamond spokes.

Gold dont go with yellow at all. Ask any girl if she wears red and pink together and youll get an answer,

Gold wheels don't 'compliment' the yellow. They'd probably look better on red or medium metallic red cars. I've had gray, gold and black wheels om my 88 Coupe and Formula, The gold really should have been the OEM wheels on the Formula IMHO. Sorta Firebidish is probably why they didn't. They really pop with the black.

I fixed that problem - my GT was originally white with the Beechwood interior - now it's a yellow choptop with beechwood interior

Not for the Formula. I ordered mine from factory and I wanted gold rims and was not allowed to order them.
