Default I need C4 aftermarket wheel pics....

UGGGHHH......there are just TOO many nice wheels to choose from. Help me decide what wheels to run on my 96 White LT4. I would love to see everyone's wheels and opinions. Some ideas I have thought about:

Y2K wheels powdercoated black
Y2K wheels powdercoatd gunmetal grey
Y2K wheels polished

after that, I just can't decide on any of the Fikse, Hickok, BBS, SSR, etc that are out there, so pictures of your wheels would be great.

http://www.categoryfive.net/Forgeline.htm has a pic of my car. The wheels are at the factory in Ohio being repaired at the moment from a minor accident. I have 18" Forgeline LS mesh style.

http://www.fikse.com/ has some pics. I have a friend with Fikse FM10s on a white Toyota Tacoma beautiful light and strong wheels.

[url=http://www.kinesismotorsport.com/]http://www.kinesismotorsport.com/</A> has some good looking wheels. I would order some from http://davidfarmer.8m.com/kin.html a forum member.

http://www.hrewheels.com/home.htm has a cool showroom. The 97 Corvette is really a 90 ZR1.

My favorites on white would Fikse FM5s, Kinesis K28 with a natural finish, or Kinesis Supercups. The Mallet 396 wheels fit a C4, and you can pick them up used at a reasonable price usually with tires. I would have the 396s if they weren't on back order when I ordered wheels. If you want to see my car I'm up in Kennesaw the wheels should be back soon.

For the 396 wheels. Watch various for sale areas on this forum. A set just was just sold http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=131857

One day I'll have a set of CCWs for racewheels.

They are stock C5 offset 17" front and 18" backs.

The rims are aftermarket that come chromed. I don't believe real GM rims are available in chrome but only polished.

Bought the rims from Michigan Custom Auto for $925 USD plus shipping. If you want email me at rsharma@usa.com and I'll send you their email address. It's a small shop but they were legit with getting my rims.
