We receive tons of Corvette images from customers and enthusiasts both on and off line. This is the stock for all of our catalogs and advertisements. The cover everyone liked best (we had several to choose from) was the one in question. Until I read this I assumed it was just some customers sweet Vette. It turns out, the wheels on the cover car are from a long time customer and friend - Chris McDonald and are on his ’69 Corvette. The body is from another good customer – (I need permission before I give his name). Our in-house artist did merge (with PhotoShop) the images together. He loved the way the later model C3 body looked with those wheels.
Here is some other information:
Wheels/Tires: Intro Pentia 18x9.5 front 18x12 rear.
Flares: ACI Fiberglass
This link tells all about Chris McDonalds ’69 and what mods it has.

Sure it's ok, BUT, what if !!
Say some new guy is into corvettes and is new on the forum looking for a killer set of wheels, see's the pic, then call's VBP, and is told they are steam roller size, then goes buy some high dollar custom wheels to find they don't fit without other big money mods.
thats all I'm saying
