I'm looking for a set of wheels that will fit my '65. I prefer chrome but would like to see what other guys are running. Tire size will depend on what will fit the car after I get the wheels. Pictures will be great. Don't forget,1965 is the first year for disk brakes and the calipers are huge.
Hey, did you find your wheels you were looking for?? I no this is an old old news thread, but there does not seem to be much selection for 15" (with stock tires) chrome aftermarket wheels. The 5 star pattern seems to be about the only choice, as the pics shows. I am undecided between knock-Off or some chrome aftermarket wheels. I just want something different than the 5 star pattern.
With your old four year post you had plenty of time to find chrome wheels for your 1965 Corvette and wonder if you had any luck? Thanks
AR Torq Thrust D (VN105D) 15 x 6 wheels with 215/70 R15 tires. Optional AR spinner center caps. Bleeder nipples on rear calipers had to be cut and filed to clear the spokes:

Try Jeg.com they have many aftermarket wheels for C2 Corvettes to choose from.
DB tires Gold Lines, 235/60-R15 rear 215/65-R15 Front, no rubbing what so ever on a 7 inch rim 4" back spacing AR TT with AR spinners.
Lacking tire knowledge I know the stock Corvette tires are 205/75/R15. The 75 means 7.5" wide tires? What does the 235 and 215 mean? Compared to the stock 205? Thanks
Nice chrome wheels. Does anybody know the 1965 Corvette Bolt Pattern in inches? Tried to order some aftermarket wheels and they asked me what is the bolts pattern in inches for the C2 Corvette. Five bolts per wheel was not the answer they were looking for on the phone.
What is the back space on the wheel in inches?

Has anybody used/ tried VENEZIA CLASSIC 205/75 R-15 tires on their corvette?? Who makes them? They look good on-line.
