For the record, the 1985 Speedline metrics are the ones with 8 holes. The 5-hole wheels are on later cars, definitely not the GTV6. Aside from not being "period correct" the 5-hole wheels look pretty good on a GTV6.

OK. The '"wineglass" wheel I'm speaking of were made by Speedline and for 1986 they were non -metric (15-inch to be precise). I don't know about the 1985 model. But a knowledgeable young friend tells me that the so-called "phone-dial"-type wheels (5 big holes) were standard in the USA for at least PART of 1985, and these WERE metric (I've one for a 'spare' in my car that I want to replace).
