Wtb: C5 or C6 wheels
 

Like the title says. Figured I'd see if anyone has anything floating around before I just order up a new set.
Basically I'm open to anything but chrome wheels, or wagon wheels. If anyone has anything else let me know. If not I'll most likely be ordering a set next week.

i;m looking for some too... :)

Actuay I'm open to almost anything in the vette or 4th gen offset that isn't chrome or a stock 4th gen wheel. I'm so undecided but need a set of wheels to mock up my car with. And I need them asap.
Worst case I bite the bullet and order all new after we get back from our road trip next week.

and already talked to this guy if these would have fit I would go with them

The first set I'd be all over I they were 17/18" but I really don't think I want 18/19" cause I don't feel like paying for 19" tires all the time. And I know I'm not going to be easy on tires.

Second set I'm iffy on. Not sure if they'd kill the look of my car or not :/

your really gunna run 4th gen back space on the car? i dunno i think it looks terrible wen you run the newer car offsets. i mean yeah it handles better and there are benifits for doing it But??? the look i dunno maybe its me but newer style wheels belong on newer cars, and classic STYLING belongs on classic cars, i say get Billet Specialties!!!

Yeah I think the offset would look weird on a 1st gen, as played out as they are I'd go with Torque Thrusts or TT2s before the wheels you're considering. Just my $.02 :mytwocents:

Personally I would do OE Wheels C4 ZR1s

They can be had in 17/18 Combo, and even Deep Dish or 11s out back... and the real beauty is they are ~$500 for a set of 4....

Can't go wrong!!!

They also do have C5 or even C6 setups as well, but I think the C4s bridge the Old/New gap in looks perfectly:crazyhi:

I hear what you guys are saying but, I have no choice but to run the vette/4th gen backspacing. I plan on swapping the whole vette front subframe into my car to keep all of the factory geometry intact. I don't want to negate the benefits of the vette parts by narrowing the track width.

Alex, I thought about tt2's and probably would if it wasn't for one big issue. They won't clear vette calipers without a LOT of grinding. And I do mean a lot. We had to do it on an old friend of mines car and it's not something I want to do.

And I'm really not a fan of c4 zr1's. Want to stay more modern. I wouldn mind some of the other aftermarket options but I'm also not looking to spend 2g's on wheels/tires right now. Some sort of c5/c6 replica wheels I think will fit the bill.
I've seen a few pics of first gens with 4th gen offset wheels and don't think it looks all that bad. I do realize it's a love it or hate it thing but I think with the right wheel it'll look pretty badass. Just need to decide between silver or black at this point.
And trust me, if I had a dollar for every time I heard how horrible yellow with blue flames looks I'd be a rich man. I'm used to getting criticized lol.

Actually I think the paint looks awesome

who cares what ppl say about the paint abnormal paint makes the car more memorable, how many times you gonna hear it.

"Dude I totally got toasted by this crazy looking yellow and blue 1st gen at the track last time I was there"

Trust me I really don't care what people think about the paint, hell, I originally painted the car yellow on a dare. It just kinda stuck lol. Same for the wheels, the whole car has always been a love it or hate it thing. I have a vision in my head and I'm going for it. My minds eye usually plays out pretty well so we'll see :D

Yay. Found a set I'm happy with I think. Picking them up in jersey this week on our way back from dc :)

Pics or ban!

When I pick them up I'll snap a couple.
Heading off to dc in the morning for a few days for a family vacation then on our way home Wednesday stopping in Virginia to pick up my new rear suspension then toms river new jersey for my wheels. What I'm saving in shipping is covering a good chunk of our trip lol.
