I bought some adapters for the 82 that will accommodate late model Corvette wheels and I have a new set of chromed saw blades & new Eagle F1's that are just laying around. Come on guys, it was just a thought!!!! I figure I will never get what I have in them by selling them. Be kind.

Hey they look pretty dang good! I think I prefer the newer Z06 rims, but did you have any problem with the wider tires? Thanks

Nope, ran these wheels for over 10years. The Summitomo tires stuck much better than the Eagle GTs. I still have them. I wish somebody would come get them.

Run what ever wheels you like, its your car. C4 wheels with the right adapters work well and look good. If some one else doesnt like them too bad, its not their car. I have been running C4 wheels for about 20 years and never had a problem with the adapters or wheels.

How wide are your C4 wheels?
How bad do you want to get rid of them?
You said in another thread that you ran them backwards for better brake cooling any more info on that?

I'm with you.


But others disagree. Good thing everyone has their own opinion or the world would be boring.

All are 85 16x9.5". I should get something for them, the tires have less than 3000 miles on them. Got anything I need?
I need an 80-82 aluminum bat wing
a 74-79 hood, L88 style would be nice
An LT4 Hot Cam
or a little cash.
Let me know, I come to Ventura every other weekend and I'll be in LA in a couple of weeks.
