if you were to buy rims what would you get?

[johnd]

I am almost 100% stuck on torque thrust II's but I see them so much is there any other rim that would look good on a 81 vette? I am putting rims on, painting it, and putting sidepipes on as a winter project so Let me see your pics either post um here or send them to my e-mail address:

johnathan.dykstra@us.army.mil

Thanks alot,

Maybe freaky, maybe not...

John, your last name sounds familiar to me.
Are you around early 20s and is your mother tall, blond, beautiful, 1st name start with letter "P" and did she attend Tracy High School in California?

Were I to buy rims, I'd get a brand spanking new set of aluminim rims in the 78SA style to replace my slightly beat-up ones.
Check out Killer's wheels, 69MyWay, for some cool custom ones.

Stinker! I'm testing out my psychot...I mean psychic theories. :t

Seriously, I knew of a couple from high school who married and had children, and their last name was Dykstra...rather uncommon last name so I had to ask.

I had centerlines on my '74 Camaro and I loved them. I thought they were the best looking rims ever. Still do. I also found them easy to clean, since they had no holes to catch dirt in!

Don't you need a spacer with cragers?

YEA,YES,YES these darn wheels are everywhere now.You cannot
go to a car show or street meet without seeing them like LICE.
They are a good wheel and cheap for custom 2-piece sizes.
I am changing to www.hrewheels.com. 540's three piece. only
difference is the price. For the size i need i am looking at 1280 a piece. They will look KICKASS. Good luck
PS, I DO NOT HAVE SPACERS

I do like the American Racing "Salt Flat" wheels (series 270 and 570). Unfortunately, I don't think they are offered in anything bigger than 16 inch for our cars, and I'd really like to eventually go to 17/18 (front/rear)

Ah, well...

I've asked this before, and I'll ask it again:
in this age of CAD/CAM, CNC-capabilities, why hasn't SOMEBODY cut a set of C4/C5 wheels, with the correct back-spacing & bolt-pattern, for 15" OEM tires, for our C3s?
I'd like to see chromed ZR1, chromed-'97-'99 wheels (wide-spokes), and chromed ZO6 wheels, in particular, for an 'all-Corvette' appearence.....

Centerlines!! I had them on two of my vettes, 80 and 78. My current 78 Daytona has the Centerline Drag wheels, VERY light wieght. The wheels are very easy to keep clean and becuase of the solid centers No brake dust. Mt other 78 had 40 spoke Chrome spoke wire wheel. Really classy looking.

No spacers. But had to use 15x7 to fit in wheelwell.

We put the Cragar Super Sport with the spinners on our '81 and we get a lot of good comments ...

I've like the SS since the '70's

 

[Last Ride]

How about these?

I think I am going to do some variation of these:

They are made by a British company Image Wheels. Pretty cool and at least a little unique!

78SilvAnniv: I am in my early 20's but never have been to cali so must not be that dykstra sorry...but I AM related to lenny dykstra.
