Default What type of wheels do you have on your C3????

I currently have the stock Rally Wheels on my 70 since I like the stock look, but I was curious what other Vette owners preferred. :chevy

I never thought about the spinners. Did they come on the cars straight from the factory or are they a later addition??? I might think about throwing a set of spinners on my car, if it's not too much trouble.

Stock Rally for now, but those Eagle Alloy's (like 74 Roadster) are the most wicked looking wheels......and I like "WICKED" :reddevil

Wow I like the Boyds!

I have been going back and forth between the 17 ralleys you have and the TTII's for some time now. Thanks for making my decision harder!!! :p:

Hey Mike is that offer for your wheels still there if you get new rims. I might even let you try the drag radials when I get them

and conversly, I hate chrome wheels, ok stock, but aftermarket makes the car look like a pimp daddy drug dealer.....if they are 'gold' color it's even worse....

When I purchased my Shark the previous owner had '78 Pace Car wheels installed. So, I stripped the coating and removed the red stripe. They polished up nicely. I've been thinking of having them chromed or replacing them with a chrome set and adding a stripe to match the Corvette Orange paint.
Two summers ago I saw a C3 with the factory wheels chromed and it looked very nice and I'm sure the upkeep is much easier. :yesnod:

BTW....ccryder....your Vette is VERY SHARP and the wheels do justice to your ride! :cheers:
