Are these the same wheels?

Hi,

I want to order replica style bolt on knockoff wheels for my '63 SWC.

Don't mind paying more for better replica's, but there are not a lot of details available, and they both look the same. Are they?

Thanks,

G.

Yes, they are - Corvette America is the manufacturer, lots of vendors sell them. Call Dick Baron at Virginia Vettes for the best deal on them.

Looks like it. Note the part number on the "Corvette Parts Worldwide" website.

Features
CA - 22763 - Direct-Bolt Knockoff Wheel Set - Replica Style - Complete - Each

That is Corvette America's part number. 22763.

I am one of many satisfied customers here on the forum.

With that said, Dick may not be selling them for awhile b/c of some finish problems:

I talked to Bruce of Corvette Parts Worldwide over email, and he says he will personally talk to the production manager and have him hand pick a set for me.

So I feal reassured, unless the black dots start to appear after a while, but that was not what I read in the post.

Sounds like a nice guy. quick response to my email too...

I'll order them and let you guys know how it turns out!
