Topic: Rim selections
in Forum: C3 Engines, Driveline and Handling
One thing that was pointed out to me when I was looking at different rims was to seriously look at what was available in 17". The main reason given was the tire selection was greater in 17" than 16". So what do I do? - go with 16"!
I flipped back and forth between 5 spoke styles (ZR-1 look-a-likes) and 10 spoke styles (Z06 look-a-likes). I eventually found the rims I liked on eBay and had to have 4" spacers custom made (also found eBay). Tire selection was a little more limited as predicted but I went with TA Radials and am very happy with the combination of ride and handling.
Finished off the look with some red Bow-Tie center caps to replace the C4 style caps that came with the wheels. Gotten a lot of compliments on the look which makes it worth it. (The picture linked to in my signature was taken before the Bow-Tie center caps arrived.)

I went with the tire I wanted 1st and picked out the rims last.
