Default Rims For My 81

I am thinking of getting aftermarket rims for My 81. I have tried to get my stock ones shining but I don't think they will ever be perfect, and even if I could get them perfect I'm not sure I am crazy about the style. So anyone out there with custom rims on there C3 preferably 80-82 but I'll take any year could you post pics and info on your wheels, what brand and model. Thanks I would really appreciate it.

Personally I really like the looks of the stock rims on my '81. What I don't like is the limited tire choices for that size wheel.

Consider this another request for wheel ideas for '81's.

Thats a quality photochop job you did there. If you didn't say anything I would think those were your real rims. :thumbs:

those look awesome :yesnod:
i have american racing 136 ventura's on my 81, but they're only 15's. that's the only size they come in. they fit with no problems. but like said above, there isn't really any high performence tires for them, except maybe some 255/60VR15 Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires.
some 17" TT2's would look nice :cool:
here is a pic of dennisr's 81:

and here's a pic i got off of ebay of one with TT2's:

Thanks, I tried to make it as real as possible so I know they will look good before ploping down $1200 or so.

I like the Centerline Convo Pro; I had a set on my turbo'd '73 240Z and my B-I-L had a set on his SBC '72 240Z :)
