Rocker panels moldings and lower fenders are painted in black with an accent stripe and the grille openings are also highlighted in black. With the exception of the optional snowflake wheels, Can Ams look identical on the exterior. Other unique features include louvered side windows,shaker hood scoop,

Optional 15x7 Snowflake wheels (code YJ8) are considered rare on a Can Am. They came from the factory with GR70x15 radial tires. This photo shows aftermarket tires.

Finally, for 1977, an all-new cast-aluminum wheel option was offered on the Firebird measuring 15x7 inches, the same as the standard Trans Am Rally II stamped-steel wheel and the Honeycomb. The new design used a single casting that featured an intricate cross-fin pattern, which bore some resemblance to a snowflake, leading enthusiasts to refer to it as such, though Pontiac never did.

Instead, Pontiac's literature listed the new alloys as simply, ''cast aluminum wheel,'' and tagged the option with code YJ8. All Firebirds could be equipped with the new aluminum wheel for '77, and in most cases, the finish consisted of a machined face with as-cast aluminum in the recesses. However, the Trans Am Special Edition, made famous by Burt Reynolds, automatically received special versions of the same wheel with bright gold accent paint in the recesses; another specialty Firebird, the Sky Bird, received blue painted recesses to match its body color. The new wheel was also offered in 1977 on Grand Prix and Le Mans models, as well as some full-size Pontiacs.

The following year, an additional version of the snowflake-styled wheel appeared in the Firebird line as part of the WS-6 performance suspension package. This version used a new casting that yielded a 15x8-inch variation of the design, which took on a significantly different appearance resulting from its ''deep-dish'' center section and rim lip in comparison to the 15x7 snowflake's relatively shallow face. Only Trans Am and Formula models were available with the WS-6 package, and the 15x8-inch wheel could not be ordered separately. Trans Ams with both the SE package and the WS-6 option received 8-inch snowflakes with a gold tone over the entire wheel face. Also in 1978, a 14-inch version of the snowflake was created for the new downsized Grand Prix, Grand Am and Le Mans lines; a 13-inch version with four-lug mounting was even used on the Sunbird.

When the Trans Am was face-lifted for 1979, the 15x8-inch snowflake was also revised with a machined face and either gold or silver accent paint in its recesses. It was still only available as part of the WS-6 package, which was still limited to Trans Am and Formula models. This would continue through the '81 model year, though Trans Ams and Formulas ordered with the turbocharged 4.9-liter engine received the newly styled ''Turbo-cast'' wheels.

The all-new third-generation Firebird that debuted for 1982 received a 14x6-inch snowflake-style wheel option in its first year, but only on base models, marking the last application of the design at Pontiac.

The 15x7 inch snowflae rims came in two different variations.  Both were 15x7 inches in size, but there was a second design released in 1979 that was a thinner/lighter snowflake rim.  Most people do not know the difference, but when you put them side by side, you can definitely see the difference. Here you can see the difference between the 15x7 inch snowflakes for 1979-81 (left) and 1977-81 (right). You can tell from far away by the inner most circle has edges on the right and not the left. Also, the outer most circle has openings on the left, but not on the right.  Now as far as which rims were used on which cars and why they still had both styles in 1979 to 1981 is still left to be determined.
