First post _ Need Wagon wheel answers
Hello All,
Today is the one week anniversary of my first Corvette! The original ower was a retired GM exec. He had expensive Fisk wheels on the car but I want to put the Wagon Wheels back on for the stock look. However, I seem to be short some center caps. Anyone know of a good place for some lugnuts and center caps? I searched the board but none for sale at the moment.
I may have further stupid questions, sorry..

I prefer factory wheels to aftermarket. Eventually a set of thin spokes perhaps.
Any feedback on preferred vendors to use would also be appreciated.

If you want to go with the stock look, do what I'm doing and get some Magnesium wheels.
I got my 99 convertible for Christmas and it took me two weeks to find a set on ebay.
I paid about $550 after shipping.
The Magnesium looks better to me than the thin spoke.
I have a set of silver painted thin spokes that I also won off ebay that I am planning on stripping and polishing.
If you would be interested in them I'll let them go for what I have in them $350 plus shipping.

You should have a very easy time finding wagon wheel parts on this forum! Good luck.

Wagon Wheels are easy to find - I just sold mine and the 4 center caps for $260 and they were in perfect condition.
Here is a set for $325 - WITH the lugs and center caps. He has had them for sale for a while so I bet he would do it for $300 plus shipping.

This is a picture of my 99 at the 2010 Motortrend International Auto Expo this weekend. Had MANY compliments on the "ugly" wagon wheels, mostly due to the original look. These are polished though and that has made a difference.
