Just my opinion, but I think the stock rims are the only nice looking 15" rims on a vette. But maybe when I see a pic of 15" tt2's on a 80-82 I might change my mind

I'm w/ Tall Boy on this one! If your gonna STAY w/ 15 inch, you'd be hard pressed to find a better looking wheel than stock, on the 80-82 C3's.(IMO) I also looked at your pics, and your wheels look good in them.

Tim, you can go to Tire Rack.com and put any wheel that will fit your car and then see how it looks on it. I think there are other sites that do this also, just can't recall the names.
