96 C4 Aftermarket Wheels

[John Mekisich]

Why is it that there are so few aftermarket wheel options?

I have asked the same question of a friend at Tire Rack and he said is was mostly due to demand. Because of the specific size and offset the aftermarket manufacturers don't view us C4 owner as a large market. Most of what I have found is aftermarket factory replicas to fit most all years or a few ridiclously priced (Cray) wheels. I finaly decided on the ZR1 style in chrome for my 95 Admiral Blue and am very happy with the look over the factory sawblades, even though I polished the factory wheels.

It's demand related as stated.

The newest C4 is 13 years old. The demand for after market wheels is very low for the C4. Wheel companies are not going to stock a lot of odd sizes so you can't find very much in the way of new wheels except newer style Corvette wheels in C4 size and offset.

Unless you're willing to special order - then you're looking at a lot of money.

Ask for a Camaro rim with 35 MM offset...sizes and supplies are endless...thats how I got the rims for my 96 LT1 (not pictured below )
