I couldn't view the link (i'm at work), but are you replacing stock with aftermarket? if so are you going to 17's?

Never bought from him. But my .02:
His feedback is good.

But most who leave feedback, leave it as soon as they open the box.

Chrome wheels take time to flake.

Yes, I'm thinking of replacing the stock 16" with 17. Not sure if I want chrome or brushed aluminium. Just thinking for now. Waiting for the snow to melt and spring to arrive.

Those look nice! Of course, you'd have to paint the brake calipers red to match.

SPECIFICATIONS

• [size=+1]CHROME CORVETTE C-5 REPLICA WHEELS[/size]
• [size=+1]WHEEL SIZE ( 17 X 8 1/2 ET 56mm )[/size]
• [size=+1]BOLT PATTERN - ( 5 lug on 4 3/4" )[/size]

The ad says: 17 x 8 1/2. Those are rims for front rims 94-96 (255/45ZR17) I think you are looking for, maybe, 17 x 9 1/2 (275 or 285/40ZR17)

I think you are looking for 9 1/2, beware. I just got rear ended by an Ebayer, he sold me an used Hypertech programmer and it does not work.

Be carefull, on rims maybe they are used, bended, etc

Depending on the budget you might try Corvette Wheel Specialists. I did the exchange on my 88 rims and they cam in last week. $625.00 for the wheels after a $185.00 shipping and a refundable $600.00 core charge.
