Say what? Since when?
The Checkerboard (or "honeycomb") rims were NOT "only available in Mexico". In fact, they were available in the US for EVERY model year, 1981-1988. Brochures (USA) even SHOW them...witness the 1981 picture/brochure at the top left of this pic:

Both of my LSs (my former "Silver Bullet", 1988 LS and my current "Baby Blue", 1987 LS) have them. My '87 MC LS:

Thanks for the info! I never knew they were only in Mexico...I tried looking online for the history of them and how many they made, but couldn't find anything other than the first year they made them was 1981. And they really are hard to find! I'd love to hear more about them if anyone knows!
