My '72 with '89 vette rims......keep in mind that I kept the same wheel centerline as stock, by using VBP 2.5" thick wheel adapters and that the previous owners put some later shark size flares on the car, pix in my sites below....

If you like those wheels guard the center caps like gold! SLP disco'd the wheels when the company was sold and they are impossible to find. Tire shop dropped a tire on one of mine and I have been looking for months to find a replacement.

That sucks. I ALWAYS remove them when I bring it in for service. I'm sure we can find someone or something on EBay, or in Palatine there has to be a machine shop that can make them. I will keep an eye out for one if I come across them

Thank you sir. MUCH appreciated After years of work and still a lot ahead, sometimes gets discouraging or never seems like the car will ever get done (That picture was taken Fall of '14)

It's a long thread to go thru, and maybe you've seen it already, but there are lots of wheel ideas in the thread below including wheels from C5 and C6's:
