Shooter,Whats the width of that wheel,I think I have one!! I have 3 wheels but 1 is damaged!!
I need to look up stairs in Steve's Loft Apartment!

Junk - They said the rim's diameter is 18.5" and the tire is 10" wide.

I'll ask them again about wheel width if the tire width is not enough.

The wheel size should be stamped on the back side somewhere!

I need the Size and (RT or LT),I know I have the wheel if it's the right size!!

This wheel isn't it,It was just handy!! :L

That wheel looks to be what came stock on 88s with the 17" wheels and on all 89. Just check my picture.

check your local Craig's list.
They are often there under auto parts, or Corvette.
Also
1. There are wheel straighteners who could fix it
2. That's a lot of metal - a recycler could give you a few $$

Wheel woes

6-Shooter -

Before you toss that rim, I'd suggest you pull the center cap, and take the emblem out - it's held on by two speed nuts (and perhaps a little adhesive).

Yes, that one might be scratched up, but hang on to it until you get lucky enough to find new emblems - they're pretty scarce, and I'd hate to see you toss that one in the trash, only to find out you can't replace it later!

(I've been looking for them)

Yes, throw out (or re-cycle) the wheel and keep the center cap and emblem. The wheel is not worth the cost of fixing. You can buy these wheels used for not a lot of $$$ and they are pretty easy to find. (e-bay, craigs list, corvette web sites, etc.)

I think Zip Products used to sell the emblems.

TripleBlack89 - Thanks for the info...

...I'm pretty sure my niece/brother will remove the center cap and put it on their new/used wheel.

We ever get a wheel size??:confused

The wheel is 17 x 9.5 x 56mm. Easy to find. Often for sale on this foum in C4 parts. If not post WTB and you will certainly get offers. Also e-bay, Craigs list, etc.
Keep the center cap for the replacement wheel. A wheel in similar conditon (without the curb damage!) won't be very expensive. Sets of 4 are often reasonable enough that you can buy a set and she can be ready to take on the next curb!

Junk - I've called him twice, some folks operate at slower speeds...

The offsets are the same at 56mm. No difference between those 88 89 wheels.
