Vette(s): 1977 Corvette l48 Custom

Hey guys! Got a big question!

I bought these wheels

A long time ago... but as these 6 years have passed.... and the Vette still isnt done... its coming to a close, a lot of extra customizing has been done.

Everyone and their 90 year old grandma has theese wheels from a c3 to a lincoln continental.

Is there any wheels that fir our cars nicley without wheel spacers that have a nifty look.. and no copy cat C6 wheels I'm talkin uniqe wheels. If I must use wheel spacers please assist... but keep in mind I'll be going fast (lol ;) ).... I don't want anything bigger than 18"s

The Vette has VBandP adjustable cams and composit monosprings in the rear and the VBandP adustable suspension in the front.

THIS CAR IS LOOKIN HOOOOOOTTTTTTT! They are going to paint it soon! Gelcoat and sealer and sanding was happening 2 days ago.. got some pics.. still leary about the world seeing the front end modification yet... UNDER SECRET RAPS!

Thanks guys... Hope all is well with everyone... Especially Ken Styer... havn't seen or heard from him in a bit. I hope his wife is okay too... last I heard from him she was a lil sick.

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.
