15 inch is the original one. Why would you be getting the 14 inch?

Cuz they are a lot less expensive and look pretty much the same to me.. Im concentrating on other stuff at the moment with my funds (SPM) so 14" are fine... plus I already have two 14" wheels

I see, but is it really that much more expensive? They are just hub caps, not alloys?

I think i should explain this one :good: As you can see my signature :mrgreen:

KITT has the WS6 suspension which had 15x7 turbo cast wheels with the black hubcaps.The reason these are RARE and HARD TO FIND is that WS6 was a HIGH dollar option,So not many were ordered that way and only 1982 and early 83 Trans Am's and firebird S/E's could have them.The 14" version where more common and were standard on the 1982 Trans am and 1982 Firebird S/E and available until 1984 !!

With a "Credible source" I knew a few years back he had the official count at 36,392 cars that were ordered with 15" turbo cast and most have been scrapped !!! :(
