Wheels
Hi folks,
this is a pic of 1979 Corvette and its wheels are not original. I am wondering what car (eventually year) those wheels originally belong to?

O.K. I took the Corvette from U.S. to Czech republic (Europe 
we have the best beer but you have the best cars) and I do not really care if those wheels are aftermarket or not because I am happy I have at least some wheels. Just wanted to know...Here's not too much to choose from...

Actually, those are American Racing Vectors. They were very popular in the early 80s. The Dodge Charger "General Lee" from the TV show The Dukes of Hazards had them on it,,,,or should I say on them.....all of them..

I agree
American Racing Vector wheels. Western Wheels also mad a simular type of wheel. Mid 70s early 80s production, I never really liked them all that much but, to each his own (lots were put on "Boogie Vans" in the mid 1970s I did once see a Black 73 Chevy 1/2T Step-side "slammed" with Vectors and Mustang tail lights, they looked good on it.)

Elkej, I think the wheels look pretty good on your vette. Have fun with it and keep the pics coming.
