You say your car is not a "show car"? I'd be extremely proud to show it off anywhere! It's outstanding!

Alberto - . I'm somewhat partial to silver 85's anyway, but I've got to tell ya, you have one hell of a looker!!! the C5 wagon wheels look better on a C4 than they ever did on a C5. on a C5, they're kind of an ugly wheel, but for some reason, and I've said this more than once, they fit the C4 lines to a tee. nice job on the interior too, in fact, everything about the car is first class. again, a nice job. you should be proud!

these wheels are a surprise for me,as most of you guys,when a friend from my club showed pics to me i said "ugly and worst wheels ever fit under a corvette" but it was a good deal,plus they were 4 x 18" and i bought these ...when i put that bad boys in my Vette i said "wow seems like they were designed for a C4".i wanna say thank you guys ,all of you, for your nice words.

As you can see to put C5 "wagon" having my 85' an offset of 36-38mm vs 56mm i had to put big spacercers 30 mm at the rear and 23 mm front.not a big fan of spacers but on early 85' you haven't choice.
if you look at the 2nd pic, previous post, you can see behind me a shop car lifter,my friend had a good deal and bought it ,now we are free to lift our car when needed.

i think it looks sharp, much better then the factory wheels. Especialy with that grey paint. Turned a dull looking car into a sharp car.

As told the car has minor modds,my L98 need more work,we are planning some radical work,it wil be our winter project,still thinking about a whole new engine like a 406.I love the L98 low torque and i would like to blend into one low torque and a best breathing engine capable of revving in the 6000s.My next intake will be a Miniram,i think a fresh 406 from Tri Star Engine coupled with a Miniram would be a killer engine.i've to plan a container shipping during the summer,we have a friend making import/export in New Jersey,he will reserve a little room for my bad boy...let see if i will be able to show you guys a new fresh engine bay next fall/winter...

You sure know how to stage a car in a picture. You should be doing it for a living! Your pictures could have been used in sales brochures for the C4 Corvette when they were new. Simply amazing how beautiful the car looks in those pictures.

I have to be honest,i've searched the best location around my town.Was searching the best night color for my night pics,find a spot with big red lights,and i've called my friend to give me departures of cruiseships from San Marco,he said to me " Costa Magnifica is putting to sea at 5 pm and is exepected to be at the lighthouse in Bocca di lido at 6 pm o'clock " so i 've prepared my set and parked the car in front of the beach near the mouth,waiting the big sea monster and then i've shooted a few pics in a cloudy afternoon. Thanks for your fine comments

I've never liked the look on those wheels on C5s, but your Vette looks very clean with them on. The silver/silver combo worked out great.
