I know you see them a lot, but the AR Torque Thrust 2 look great on a C3. If you don't mind spacers the Torque Thrust D with grey spokes are awesome.

I also like these Budnik wheels, but over $300 each.

I like those better than those 1st ones, however if you want a 2pc wheel look get some 2pc wheel, nothing so sad as fake ;) :D

I think the boomerang 201s look good. You can order them from Summit.

I just ordered a set of the Phat 5 460

Hey Guru,

I'm hanging around the board right now too. You'll need to be careful choosing wheels because of the large Vette calipers. I'd advise you to get wheels that don't need spacers, or be prepared to check your wheels often. Save up and get the best quality wheel you can. The higher priced wheels also save you a lot of unsprung weight.

I think that they are too busy. I'd only put something relatively simple on a C3. Why pull attention away from the body of the car when the lines are so classic? I could maybe see someone wanting to put a wheel like that on a vehicle with bland styling(like a suburban, s10 etc)...
JMO, do what will make you happy!
