15" OEM or 15" Torque thrust D - Maybe the GS Grand Sport replica wheels if you have lots of $.
No Bling - No Chrome
And please stop with the 20-inch wheels. Makes the Corvette look too much like a Honda.

2021 C2 of the Year Finalist - Modified
I have a hard time deciding on wheels as well, over the past couple years I have had 5 combo's on my 65. it came with blackwalls and hubcaps, I put rally's on it, the torque thrusts, then hubcaps and goldlines, and now knock offs and whitewalls...still have the last 4 sets, and each make the car look different.

I favor the hub caps on the '65-'66 cars too. After that, it's American Racing Torque Thrusts (NOT torque thrust D's with the daisy spoke) all the way. You just can't beat the classic appearance and function, and they just look mean. Never have been a fan of knock off wheels or repro knock off look-alikes, which is a good thing if I ever get a C2 as it will save me thousands and thousands of dollars!

I used to insist on buying the bolt-on repro of the knock offs whenever I bought a midyear. I bought 2 sets in 3 years. I couldn't understand why anyone would run a midyear without the knockoffs.
Now, I 100% prefer hub caps on 63-66. I think I get bored with stuff.

Now here are TT D's on my 63. This is the right look for sure.

^^^I'm still stuck on the classic look of Minilite racing wheels as well. And they have gold and black toned ones now as well which may compliment your car's color, timeless design.
