How would these wheels look on a C3?
I really like these wheels, or something similar. Besides Kinesis, I've been looking at wheels from HRE, Fiske, and Billet Specialties. I really like the exposed fastener, 3-piece, 5 spoke wheels. I'm going to go with 18" wheels.

Personally, they don't do anything for ME, but...if YOU like the look, go for it.

I think they would look killer.
I really like that weel, not too many spokes, great design.. go for it :)
Just did a photohack, used a crappy pic of my car and this is the best I could get it on there. I'm not sure if it looks quite right, then again it could be my ugly car ;) :D

I think they would look cool, and go with the motor you have. Not the right wheels for a stock vette, but you certainly don't have one of those. JOe

With as high tech as your car is they would look very good. The rotors need crossed drilled and slotted to complete the look.

They look like nice wheels, but aren't they inset a bit much for C3's? I don't really care for the black bolt heads, but at least they aren't phony fasteners. It's hard to say whether you like them or not without seeing them on the car, ya know?

Monty I am a big fan of five spoke wheels but those do nothing for me. Then again I don't like what I have on my car either.

I really like those wheels by themselves, I just wasn't sure if they fit the C3's. I'm not a very sophisticated Photoshop userb, so I appreciate those that cropped it onto a C3 body.
I'm not abandoning the "sleeper" theme, I just need to figure out a way to fit some kickass 14" rotors and AP Racing calipers behind some wheels and roadrace tires. The Torque Thrusts look awesome, but I want something unique. I'm just a sucker for the 3-piece look, I'm invisioning replacing all the bolts with polished ARP 12 point s.s. bolts.
