American Racing Vectors Anyone Have them?
Back in the 70's/early 80's when I had my 77 the popular wheel was 15 X8.5 or 15X10 American Racing Vectors. Anyone have these on their C3?

This was THE wheel on C3s in the late '70s. I haven't seen a set of Vectors in years..............

Sure do. I found a full set of A. R. E. Vector SE's (with 255/60 Goodyear GT Radials mounted on them) being sold by a local hot rod collector/builder. He had taken them off his '67 Corvette--so they came with a great lineage.
And just a couple of days ago I found a fifth Vector, in a little rougher shape, that I'm going to use as the spare. Since I can't get Goodyears, I had to put a Firestone Indy 500 Firehawk on it instead.
I really like these wheels; and I don't see them all over the place, as I do with some other wheels.

I like the TTII's much better on the vette than the Vectors. I guess its just a case of to each his own.
