Question: Early C-4 wheels

[killain]

Why is it so hard to find decent custom replacement wheels for an 84 vette. their 16X8.5 I think?

Since nobody replied, I guess I should contact each manufacturer of wheels to see if they carry a 16X8.5 wheel right?:bash

I went thru this a few years ago - every wheel maker wants you to upgrade to 17" wheels. I couldn't find any new wheels that I liked, but I stumbled on a set of gold ARE 16 x 9.5 in a junkyard! These wheels were exactly what I envisioned on my vette.

C4 Wheels

I went to Discount Tire, ordered Chrome ZR-1 replica wheels, 17x9.5, with BFG G-Force sport 275-40 x 17 tires, for my 87 convertible.

They fit, run smooth and quiet, grip like mad, and look great! and they are a Corvette item, not something you will see on any street rod.

I'll never go back to 16"

Happy cruising,

These are American racing torque thrust II wheels 17 x 9.5 I bought them on ebay for wheels and tires from Tomzwheels. They are polished aluminum so they won't peel or flake or bubble. The only other wheel that looks good is the ZR1 rims on these early C4 vetttes.

I beg your pardon!
The black Epsilons look great on my '84, much better IMHO than the dime-a-dozen ZR1s.
