Default New Wheels!

Finally found a wheel I could use for a more "period correct" look for my 66 Resto-Mod. I had been using C5 polished thin spokes due to the backspacing required for the 96 suspension. These are from Intro Wheels in Calif which does custom backspacing and are highly polished. I think they look much better! They are 17x8 with 245/45's in front and 18x9 with 275/40's in back. The tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's.

VERY nice car, flares, wheels...everything! The flares look as if they came from the factory. Dennis

Your car looks great. Very nice - the paint - flares - wheels.

Intro is a great company to work with especially when it comes to C2 projects. I'm sure it helps that Dave is a Corvette guy.

I don't normally like flares on C2's but that is one clean setup. Your car looks fantastic. That is one sweet ride. Greg

They look TERRIBLE!!!! I think you should have me come out and take them off. In fact, instead of doing that, just send me the car, and I'll take the wheels off here and ship them back to you.....hold on, scratch that, just send me the car and keep the wheels.....uh, hold on......FORGET IT!!!

The car looks great. Nice choice.
