Yes they are. 4X110 vs 4X114.3 for the SE. Swap the fronts out to the SE pattern. You will have a much wider choice of wheels.

My bad, I usually refer to the GSL-SE as SE in the 1st gens. There is an SE in the 2nd gens, a base model with extras and the 4 lug 4X114.3 bolt pattern.

I had an 88 SE with the phone dials, so I know they exist.
In fact, the 88 SE had polished phone dials, rather than the standard flat phone dials of the 86-87. Check the 2nd gen FAQ.

Ok, if it hasen't been made perfectly clear, YOUR car has the 4x110 bolt pattern, and currently there are absolutely no wheels in production with that bolt pattern. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, because in this case I wish I was. You said your car was a 85 GS with a 12A, well think of it this way, if the car had a 12A stock, then the bolt pattern is 4x110, if the car had a 13B stock, then the bolt pattern is 4x114.3.

I stand corrected.

Polished or flat, the phone dial rims went out of favor for me when the touchtone phones showed up. lol
