Those look pretty cool, match with the car very well. Never seen anything like them before, who makes them?

Centerline. Check out the other thread about installing new 17" centerlines without spacers. Same car.

Rod,
Man you are fast......I was replying to you and you had them up already.....Thanks....
pats406nitrovette,
These are 17" Centerlines, 8" wide....If you want to know what brand/tire size installed....I'll have to make a run for the garage....I don't know off hand. These went right on without spacers....and no rubbing on the inside....the car handles like a C-4 now...instant steering responce, sticking to the turns like I was on rails....and the ride is twice smooth now

I think it's very interesting how your ground effects make the 17" wheels come together for your Vette very nicely. I'm not a huge fan of ground effects, but thumbs up to you and your Vette!!! You pulled it off nicely! :yesnod:

Nice - I like them. Very original - doesn't look like some other rim which is usually the case with Centerlines. You have some SERIOUS clearcoat on that car. It's a great look, congrats!

looks like centerlines if you look at the picture properties !

yep- ground effects allow the vettes to look good with larger rims (due to the
higher stance of the vette by the 17") yet the effects still keep it looking low to the ground.......
nice ride....

Cappy,
Those rims are off the hook!!! Looks great. I agree the clearcoat has the vette bling blinging.:cool: A couple of ?'s What type and size tires do you have and how many coats of clearcoat to get the paint job to shine like that?

Not that it maters, but 17 X 9 with 4.5 BS also fit without spacers. It's what I have on the front. 9 inches is a better rim for 255/265/275 width.
The cheapest way to get Centerlines is contact them and get the part # then call up and order them from Summit Racing.

Re: Cappy's got new wheels - Check them out
I just want everyone to know that these pics look like CRAP!!!!!!!!!
That is compared to seeing this car in real life :D I got to see Cappy's car today in all of its glory and it looks 10X better in real life!!! The rims/tires are truely a perfect match for his car, I don't think that I will bring my car around his anymore because it is in a league of its own and anything close looks like crap. To top it off, it sounds as good as it looks!!!
