Liked the C5 Z06 wheels from the very start. Think they look great on any generation C4. When I saw a company that made the reproduction in the style I was looking for, didn't give it a second though before upgrading to the 275/40-17's in the 38mm backspacing that I needed for my 87.
I've personally never been fond of putting C5/6/7 wheels on C4s.
Way too close to being "wanna-be"....
If you want custom wheels, then stock-type Corvette wheels from a later model don't cut it.
HRE, Forgeline, and to a lesser degree CCW and Fikse, etc. are custom wheels.

I don't agree, and in all honestly, I don't know of a rim style I'd like more than the 2010 C6 rims I have on my C4.
to OP:
Not what I would have picked, but they do look good. The rim color does compliment the body color nicely.
hey is your C4 that charcoal ish color that was only done in like 89 and 90? I love that color! You have more pics??
Yes, my 1988 Corvette is 'Charcoal Metalic', I'm not sure exactly how long the paint color was used for but I have only ever seen one other corvette in the same color and that was 10 years ago. I quite like the color also.
I've personally never been fond of putting C5/6/7 wheels on C4s. All those wheels were larger diameter and just don't think they look era correct on C4s plus they are heavy.
If the OP's wheels are the OE Speedlines, then they aren't heavy at all: 20lbs for the 18x10.5. As for the looks, that's obviously up to personal taste but I like the way they look on C4s.

Other than A-molds those C5z wheels are my favorite on c4's.
