Would 84' pro class rims be a option for an 80' 26" Kos cruiser resto?

I'm not sure the KOS ever came with Pro Class rims until after the name was changed to the "Two-Six"
My Mongoose came with Pro-Class rims new-bought it from the original owner, but it had no stickers.I have been told it was sold as a Two-Six.
My serial number shows my bike to be made in '82.
Don't know what year they changed the name. Had to do with Kosmala leaving to ride for Redline.
I do know that if you want to get particular, Pro-Class wheels weren't out in 1980 yet.
