Outta curosity how much did you expect to pay for them?
I was once lucky to score Corvette wheels (15x8 Rallys) for total of $120. Each wheel only took me about 3 hours of prep before I could repaint the wheel.
Hell the necessary spacers would be rather costly, too.

GREAT PRICE
yes spacers necessary!
The spacers are made of such a mandated heavy duty material & machining so as not to fall off your ride.
IF any "less cost" I'd almost not trust the spacers!!
Wheel Spacers have progressed alot since the 1960/70s & even 80's and 90's.

I JUST NOTICED WHERE YA LOCATED!!!!


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!



NO WONDER THE WHEELS ARE SUCH A GREAT PRICE!!!!!!

Out in the valley are lots of wheel shops BUT the adaptors can be had at probably several Corvette shops.
I know of one in Long Beach area, off 105, Alondra Exit I believe.
J & D Corvette
1-800-VETTEJD, ask for Dennis, he should be able to help ya on this adaptor piece.
The adaptors can also be had by mail order, too. Check various car magazines.
This Corvette wheel onto F Body is not first time done, tho.
BUT you do want the best adaptor meeting highest quality specs ya can obtain. Adaptors using Grade 8 bolts is one thing to look for.
