c4 wheels

Any pics of these wheels on a third gen? I would prefer to see them on Camaros, but I'll take 'bird and Trans am pics too.

Re: c4 wheels

Personally I think they're the ugliest rims to ever come on a corvette.. I wish I had money to replace mine with something better looking. They would look even worse on a camaro plus you'd have to spend money on wheel spacers too. If you want c4 wheels for a camaro go for the ZR1 repro's. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-x-...Q5fAccessories

Re: c4 wheels

I agree, they aren't the best looking wheels, but I found this ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/1115552310.html They were for sale for $400 when I started this thread.
That seems like a very good price. Maybe I'll be the first to see what they look like on a camaro.
Sailtex, the wheels on that blue Camaro are the later C4 wheels, but there is a pic of a TA with the early C4 wheels on it, in that thread., So thanks for the link!

Re: c4 wheels

You can get way nicer rims for $400 bucks. You need to figure in how much the adaptors to make them fit your car will cost too.

Re: c4 wheels

Yeah, I know, but I don't have a lot to spend on wheels and tires, and now they're $300 .
If I could find some GTA wheels, Camaro SS wheels, IROC wheels, or just about any other corvette wheels and tires that cheap, I would forget about these.

Re: c4 wheels

Does anyone know for sure the width of these '84-'87 corvette wheels?
Also, does anyone know anything else about them, like what spacers would be required, what the backspacing is, or how much they weigh?

Edit: Can someone photoshop these wheels onto a silver camaro for me?

Re: c4 wheels

even if they are a good deal, why would you buy something you dont like? just be patient and youll come across a deal on a set of wheels you actually DO like.

Re: c4 wheels

Wondering if these rims do require spacers... I am thinking of borrowing my dad's spare set for our IROC while I get the rims polished and reshod and wondered if they would fit??? They are the thinner ones from an 84. Thanks, Tim

Yes you will need spacers for all 4.
