I am realy happy with what they were...they are a lot bigger than what i expected lol...i have to wait until the 15th to get the tires mounted and suspension (payday) but hopefully it will be ok. i need the 2" spacers in the front right? i already have a 4th gen rear so yah....

I got them from a guy on Ebay...he actually happens to live about 5 miles from me so i went to his house to see if he was legit. he is an older man who has just bought/sold/ and traded corvette parts for 28 years...has a 2002 Z06 and its his 49th corvette..anyways he deals alot through OE concepts and he said $900 for all 4 rims. he can get 17x9.5's 18x10.5's and im sure the other sizes like the 17x8.5s. i was really happy with the result. OE is the only company that uses original GM casting and they arent very heavy either. his name on ebay is 4vetteparts. its in the ebay store section as well.

thx for all the replies...i cant wait to see em mounted either

oh yah they would proly look bad a$$ on that paint. i think they would look really good on blue or red...my car is white and with what i am trying to accomplish in the theme i think it should work out. the first time i saw them i knew thats what i wanted..

any pics yet? I've been looking at the same set of wheels except I'm opting for the 18 x 10.5's in the rear i wanna see what these look like!

ghettosmurf

I should have the fronts on monday...Cant do the Rear until the 4th of july weekend (next saturday) because i have yet to put the new rearend in...As soon as i get the fronts on i will take pictures for you. I gauruntee you will not be disappointed if you buy them!!!

what size spacer/adapter you gonna use on the front? and where did you get them from? According to the research i've done it should be a 2 - 2.25 . I also have an lt1 rear in my 88 thats what the wheels are going on. where did you get them from and if you dont mind how much did you give?

ghettosmurf

What size are you going to be running on the fronts? There are a few members who have these wheels. I know there is a guy who has a maroon 85 w/polished ones. Im sure you have seen it...It is SOO nice. it has SS badges on it. Im not sure about it having 18x9.5s or 10.5s but I know hes using 2" adapters. Also i bought these ones for mine from Kandied91z. And he was using them on an 18x9.5 as well. He had them machined to perfectly fit and they are about 2.25"...so that is what i have. I also have a 4th gen rear end...and to put the corvette wheels on you dont need an adapter for the wheel whatsoever because it is about 1.5" wider on each side anyways. If you go to http://www.skulte.com/adapters.html
they have great adapters. That is the company I and everyone i know that has these goes through. And they are decently priced. (remember they price is for 2)...hope this helps

yeah the wheels im going with are 17 x 9.5 front and 18 x 10.5 rear. i figured on a 2.35 adapter up front. the rears have a 58 mm offset instead of 54 like the fronts. so maybe just a regular spacer on the rear like the iroc wheels have would work.

ghettosmurf

My front are 2.25"...you cant really go less than that because it will end up hitting the cables/strut and things like that. On the rear you wont need anything...if you want i can find people's pix that have similar set ups in front/and or rear and post em. Be sure to post how yours turn out as well. I think these are the nicest rims out there (when i first saw em i knew i hadda have em). By the way where did you buy yours from and how much?
