i really like the convo pro,s personally,but i had the champ 500,s on my other vette my76 and liked them too.im gone to get the convo pro,s for a christmas present i hope from the wife :nonod:

1Bad69

i was always set on the champs..until i saw the convo pros..i cant make up my mind? the champs were stopped 3 years age i was told by centerline.that might help make up my mind if i cant find them.

PatsLs1vette

and your right you most likely wont find them i bent 2 of my rims champ500 in an accident sent them out to have starighten in penn. and they couldnt do it i called centerline to get 2 new ones and no luck ,looked for 2 years trying to find 2 more and no luck either but they looked great on the car ill dig a pic if i can and post it.

1Bad69

that would be great..i would like to see them on the car..

tt2's for sure.....by the way are your wipers broken??

1Bad69

i took these pics when i went to look at the car in northbay. i tried the wipers and they opened at a snails pace and then stopped.after a few minutes we fired up the car and they worked again but very ,very slowly. after i bought it on the way home. they did not work? any suggetions?

PatsLs1vette

Turbo-Jet

409 15x8

Chrome: $339.95

Polished: $219.95

PatsLs1vette

thanks turbojet ,thats alittle more then the wife would spend on me lol

I'll throw in my vote for the American Racing AR-136 15x8 3.75" back spacing.

Total cost was $600 US including rims, mounting and balancing my tires, lug nuts, locks, and stems.

daniel77350

so if you get new rims, what you gonna do with the old ones? Im looking for a set of late C3 factory ones(I like them if they shine right)...

Let me know if you are looking to get rid of them at a fair price.

Personally, I like the Torque Thruster II's on a Vette, but I love the convo pro's for my Z28.

PatsLs1vette

here you go a pic with the champ 500.s for you.

X-OTIC

WOW nice 76 vette..! The guy who owned that car knew how to make that car look good..! :D :jester LOL

73 LS-4

I love the look of my 16" T2's or 15" for that matter, I'd recommend them for any C3, but don't everyone get them or mine won't be noticed as much :jester

Several companies have a version of the champ 500 but I couldn't find one with a spinner cap available. Both Eagle Alloys and American Racing carry the 5-hole centerline style for around $120-$130 per wheel. For purchasing, check out http://www.customwheel.com or http://www.customwheels.com

I got mine, Eagle Alloys series 117, from their site on special! :D Like Steve said, you can get some nice 15x8's mounted for under $600. also, after going with the polished aluminum, I'd get chrome. The aluminum is a pain to polish. I have aluminum on my truck and should've known. :mad

stay away from the convo pro's or other Centerline products if you plan to do any hard cornering or autocross racing.

Centerline says to not use them for any type of hard cornering or racing other than straight line.

And I like the convo's also, but won't buy them with that restriction.
