Default Cheap wheels
I see that the C5 guys are getting a special on Z06 wheels for $600...

Anything in this price range for C3's that looks good and starts at 17x8?

I found this link for the ZR1 wheels $400 + shipping...

Thanks.

you better call them quick before they run out:

"These wheels also fit 1973-1988 G-Bodies, 1966-1972 A-Bodies, 1968-1982 Corvettes, and late-model "S" Trucks (2WD only)."

Somewhere on there, I thought I saw the backspace at 4.5"
They mention that they'll fit a C3, but how well I don't know...

Will need to call tomorrow...

The're not Z-R1 wheels, they look like Z-R1 wheels. ZR-1 wheels are 9.5 inch wide front, 11 inch wide rear.
