Default Let's see some 1994+ C4 cars with 17x9.5 & 17x11 GS wheel pics

My tires are toast on my sawblades, so I'm more than likely pulling the trigger on a set of these replica GS wheels from Florida Speed Shop tomorrow. Got quoted $1350 shipped. For an extra $50, they will throw in matching black lug nuts and C4 emblem center caps. That includes new Sumitomo tires 275/40 fronts and 315/35 rears. Some people are telling me to go Sumitomo route because other brands like Nitto are wider and will stick out the rear more. I prefer Nitto 555's. Another place quoted me $10 more with the Nittos.

Let's see some 94+ cars with the same set up

Default 93 with GS wheels

here you go - not a 94, but close







These are the sizes you're looking at. The 11s stick out a little.
Good luck!

91-94 look the same on the outside. Only thing changed for 95-96 was the gills. Nice polo

What/where/how-much is that device holding your hatch open a little with? And how well does it work. I am interested because I dislike running my A/C. Probably my parents fault and the wind is much more pleasurable anyhow.

Amazing what a google search will give you, I should've looked before asking. I found this, is it similar to yours?

Sorry OP, I don't mean to thread-jack you. Kimmer if you don't mind PM'ing me so this gentleman can have his thread back, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks! Not an LT4, though. This is a nice thread. Those A-Mold wheels look good in Chrome, Silver and Black! Lots of very nice cars in this thread.


(Thanks for the compliment, too, to 1993C4LT1!)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are the only wheels that you'll occasionally see (because of their lightness) on C5s.

Just ordered me some polished A Molds from OE Wheels. Got a smokin' deal with Nitto 555's. After looking at both the Admiral blue vettes in this thread, I was sold!!!

Now what did you guys do for centercaps? Can I use the ones off my chrome sawblades? Because the centercaps included in the new set are blanks.

Damn that looks sick!!!!!

Mine currently looks like this.
Well except for the drop. I had it lifted back to stock. Prior owner had it completely slammed, the wrong way.

Nice stance -- rear tires fit perfect. What brand tires are you running?
