Default Custom Vette Pic?

If some remember I was thinking about buying a 75 vette. So I decided to go head and buy one. I will picking it up in a few weeks. The questions I have is about custom wheels? I want to buy custom wheels for my new vette but not sure what looks good on C3s. Does Anyone have pic or info??????? Thanks for the help.

I'd hold onto your money until you see how much you have to put into your new '75 for repairs that you overlooked when you bought it.

No disrespect intended; we've all been through it.

Good advice there!

You may put 100 miles on it and discover that your trailing arms are needing rebuilt...

If you're interested in reliability, you made a good choice. My '75 has been good to me.

Wheels are a very personnal item, people's likes and dislikes vary greatly, 15", 16", 17"..all the way upto 20's (dont think i have seen 22" on a C3 yet!!)
Do some searches on the forum for wheels and you will find plenty of pic's and ideas.
