Re: Show me your wheels
I have a set of 17 X 8.5 Z06 Motorsport wheels in black on my 89, they look really good with the C5 Corvette brakes behind them. Hard to see the brakes in this shot, but shows the wheels off...

On my 92, it's time for new wheels as the chrome on them is peeling off in places (they've been on for about 6 years) and I'm leaning toward these from MB Motoring. Model name is Vintage and they will be 17 X 8 in the correct offset for 3rd gen, and the only finish is polished.

Ohhhhh.Those wheels are sexy.I am painting the car black so they would look really nice.Do they come in 18"?
Do you have to buy a spacer kit for them too?
Codeman- is that your C10 in the backround?

Re: Show me your wheels
These are the Foose nitrous wheels in a 17x8. The front needs to come down a bit but I like the wheels. I know its a bird but thought i'd share.

Re: Show me your wheels
I usually wax mine after a polish and it does keep them from getting spotted.
I was lookin around and I really like the Foose Spank wheel but I am guessing they are just for trucks.I also like the Bonspeed Malibu wheel...Ugh.I hate making decisions!!!

Re: Show me your wheels
Just because they're for trucks doesn't mean they won't fit on our cars. It's a marketing thing. As long as the bolt pattern and offset are correct, they'll work. I currently have a set of KMC Vipers (the ones I'm ready to replace) on my 92 RS which were originally marketed for trucks (RWD/Truck/SUV).

Re: Show me your wheels
Too late for me to edit, my wheels are KMC Venom (not Viper) in a 17X8 with zero offset but hard to find now (discontinued I believe).

Re: Show me your wheels
Thanks everyone for posting your wheels!!
After lots of looking I finally figured out what wheels to go with.Since I am adding a lot of curves to the car(ss hood and aero GFX) I figured the car would have a great flow to it if I added a bit of curviness to the wheels too.I decided to go with the Bonspeed Malibu wheel.

Re: Show me your wheels
Oh yea this happened about 3 weeks ago. The bumper cover was removed on a Monday. Taken to the paint shop, picked up on Friday morning the same week, installed Friday morning, and the car was at a show on Sat morning and won a nice 3ft trophy for best in class at Dover Downs Speedway!!
