I'm looking for aftermarket wheels for my 76 C3 and the Corvette forum car (the yellow one) looks just like mine with the same color and I think the wheels are very cool. I'm looking for similar examples. I have my eyes on American Racing Vintage Chrome Torg Thrust wheels but not sure or the cargar classic wheels... I'm also looking to see what size wheel tire combo looks good. I understand 15X8 rims came stock and looking for a little wider rear wheel.

Does anyone have a pic of a C3 with aftermarket wheels they can share? Whoever has a side view pic of the yellow forum car if you could post it I would appreciate it... I really like the side exhaust pipes..

Thanks for your time.

Do an advanced search on this forum using "aftermarket wheels" in quotes just as you see it. It will take you some time to go through the threads but you should get some ideas. This will get you started. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...-see-them.html

Another vote for BOSS 338 wheels. These are 18x8's with 255/45-18 UHP tires:

Can't go wrong with the coys. Great price and great service too.

WOW... I appreciate this guys! Please keep them coming.. I like the lowering effect on some of the cars which gives me some ideas ....and the side exhaust is also something to consider. ALL these cars are absolutely beautiful! Again thanks!

I own a concourse 71 Stage One Buick GS and this corvette fell in my lap and I like it.. I think the C3 body style is the true original American Icon.
