Greetings!

Recently someone offered me a set of rims of what he told me they came originally on a '75 corvette. Im quite interested in these, since i always wanted to mount spoke rims on my car.



The thing is: Can anyone confirm that these are really corvette rims, with the correct pitch circle diameter AND the weight clearance needed for a 3rd-gen?

oops sry

 

picture did not come through .

 

I can confirm there ugly....

 

very ugly
if you want spokes get 100-150 spoke dations i'v seen 3rd gen guy do this. i dont like the look but it you car and should be done how you like it.

 

it's different , might look better cleaned up . painted/chromed look might be better . not 3rd. gen. , car will not handle at all , too much flex . cool for a show on another type car .

 

I'm almost 100% positive that Corvettes never came with spoke rims from the factory.

Those look like spokes that Cragar made in the 70's/80's and maybe even the 90's.

 

Are you sure? I mean, most Motorbikes and even some Jaguars still come with spoked rims from the factory. I doubt that the rims will flex at all when the spokes are properly rebuild...or will they?
