what's up fellas....I found a set of chrome wheels made by Coys. They are "C-5" Coys to be exact. The only problem is that i've never heard of Coys before. Can you guys help me out and let me know if this is the actual brand name. Here is the link to the wheels that I'm reffering to:

It looks like there is another logo on the center cap of the wheel, however, I can't seem to figure out what it says. I wan't to order them from Discount Tire and they've never heard of the brand either.
 
Well the link your referring too is for dodge,mopar wheels,but if i was you id stay with a company thats known to be safe.Boyds,american racing,etc...
 
yeah that link is for the dodge, mopar....but if you look under the seller's other items you'll see that he has a set that'll fit the C3 Vette

Sounds like more homework is needed... I'll look into it for ya'. I think his wheels are from a thrid party one off company. Not sure, but most of those "copy cat" companies are foreign and they don't meet DOT specs.

Looks like a knock-off Torque Thrust II.
 
To tell you the truth, the only reason I wanted to look into the "COYS" wheels was because they are chrome, and they are 17x8 with 4" of backspacing. These are the exact specs of the wheels I need. However, I can't seem to find any wheels that are chrome, and have the same look as the Coys C-5, Torq Thrust, or Crager 610 SS. I've tried the 17X8 Crager 610 SS and they only offer a +15mm offset which makes the rear wheels hit my leaf spring.

If you guys know of any chrome 17x8 wheels with 0mm offset, that have this same look....Please let me know!
