BBS CH Wheel will fit your Corvette. $535.00 apiece at the Tire Rack...can be also in black. They also have 19" wheels that will fit.....(I know you said no to 19")

______________

eh.. idk
I don't like the bright silver painted wheels though. i was looking for nice chrome wheels.. or like a nice gloss black center with a chrome dish / lip with racing rivets around the lip?

I FOUND A LOT ON CHIP FOOSE I LIKE!


THE HORNET:


HOWEVER THE DISCONTINUED!

SPEEDSTER 6 THIS ONE I REALLY LIKE! DEEP DISH! RIVETS! UNIQUE!


HOWEVER THE ALSO DUMBLY DISCONTINUED!

LEAVING ME WITH THESE TYPICAL MEDIOCRE CHOICES

FOOSE / MHT NITROUS





AND LASTLY MHT / FOOSE LEGEND

NICE WHEEL, HOWEVER LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE NOW... JUST DEEP DISH. I GUESS FOOSE SOLD OUT TO THIS COMPANY CALLED MHT.. I'M SUPER PISSED. THESE COMPANIES MAKE CRAP WHEELS.. CCW / BUDNIK / COY.... then you get the decent ones American Racing, TIS, MHT / FOOSE / JESSE JAMES, BBS... ect... and they all look the same, then the wheels that look good are too big like 20"s they wont take em down in size for you... or the bolt pattern or offset is unusual for them so they wont bother.

Louis, I think the Torque Thrust II's that you already have look good on an early vette.   I have 17X8's on mine and love em.  Plus (and this is the good part) they're already paid for.   

______________

Well, call me Grandma, but I like the American Racing wheels you already have.  No one's putting them on their cars anymore.  All the younger dudes are putting those huge ugly crappy lookin' chrome wheels on their cars.  GAG me!!!

..... so Louis - what size are those crappy old fart ARs that you don't want any more? how many and how much? plenty of us old guys with C3s looking for a decent set of used wheels.

TT IIs get my vote Louis... Kind of a new old school look ... Kinda like mine!!

ok guys....

THe car has been painted...

fresh out of BAKE its MIRROR! I CAN SHAVE IN IT! and they STILL have to wet sand, polish cut and buff... BEAUTIFUL PAINT AND COLOR!

BUT THE WHEELS ONCE THE COLOR AND PIECES ARE ALL TOGETHER... PARDON M FRENCH BUT LOOK LIKE ANUS! I mean don't get me wrong great wheel, I still like em.... but fact of the matter is... what I've done will shock the corvette community around the world, also classic auto and auto customizers around the world I'm sure will all have questions....... everyone said it was impossible, lets just say baldwin motion the C2 mid engine modders said it wasn't possible...

And then... you have my plan disgusting wheels that don't match anything on the car... everyone's got em.... and depression. I was excited for the paint..... happy when I saw that deliciously evil color...
but disgusted and depressed with the look of the wheels.... I wanted to kill myself... after all this time.. its gross... any ideas?

Louis, sounds to me like you just need to sit down and work it out for yourself.   We gave our opinions already and if you disagree, that's fine.  You know what you want and how much you have to spend, so I want to wish you the best of luck in your search.  If you don't want the TTII wheels, and we certainly don't want you to kill yourself, so I'm sure someone here would be happy to take them off your hands, just put them up for sale.

Yes, however the wheels are all the same  !!

Where I've been in a Corvette...!!!

I agree with my other brother Larry..... sounds like you kinda know whut you want. Why not post some pics of your choices in a poll and we can then vote for what we like. You can go from there...

As for your cars front end I can't wait to see the thing so I will know if i will love it or hate it. If its as radical as you say the purist in me will hate it. but Im always open for some kewl lookin mods so lets see the thing....

Your playin it up real big so this ought to be super interesting. When Louis when.......???
