I bought a 96 GT Convertible and the rims are not OEM style. They are silver 5 spoke with a small centercap with a T on them. It was purchased new in the DFW metroplex. Does anyone know why them would have different rims from the factory style? Does it have anything to do with Gulf States Toyota?

They're after market rims or the previous owner changed the rims.

The previous owner was the original owner and they were on it when they bought it. Did Toyota ever ship a GT convertible with wheel covers? I though I saw one in a manufacturer brochure on Toyoland.com.

Those are factory rims. Like NJCCMD said, some dealerships installed them.

Yeah, they're OEM. There's a 95 GT in my area that has them installed as well.
