Steamrollers for the vette!
I'm gonna put biggun's under the vette some time in the near future,I have a few in mind,What do you guy's like?(Besides the cars in the pics,
they are awesome too!)
I think that any of the wheels above would look good on this vette.

The first three look ridiculous. Pretty soon they will be stuffing 60" wheels under these things and you will need a ladder to get in em.
There is a '70 Monte Carlo here in town that looks like a conastoga wagon the wheels are so big.

I don't like em so big that you have to raise the car,But I do like the looks of the 18's under a vette.(and I do like the look of the cuda!)
Here are a few examples of cars with the same fenders and the size wheel I'm thinkin bout.

I'm running a 345/35-18 on the rear of mine on a 13" wide wheel...keeps the "fat" tire look I think these cars need.
I think a five spoke wheel is more suited to the C3...though the bigger mini lite or halibrand style wheel Team III and Vintage Wheel Works make would also look good. (IMHO)

Mesh wheels
If you are even considering the Boze "Pro-touring" mesh wheels on Danica's car you might want to look at these also http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelpr...php?id=classic
The Boze Shifters and the 5 spokes on the black Camaro are both nice also.

If you paint your car black then the wheels on the Cuda are the ones I would go with
Who makes them ?
