Very Nice - if I were voting I think these are my personal favorites out of all. My advise for the C-3 would be to resist the temptation to buy a wheel that looks like a blade from a food processor or a design that belongs on a modern import tuner car. I just don't understand why designers think you need to put such complex angles & shapes into a wheel design. The goal is not to make cole slaw with your rims but to look like they belong with the rest of the car design. Aside from making the classic designs in larger sizes, I haven't seen a new wheel design in a very long time that actually looks better than what came out in the 60s & early 70s. Wheels are kinda like guitars - you got your Gibson Les Paul & your Fender Strats that came out in the 50s and as hard as everyone tries nobody has been able to come up with anything better since.
those are purrrty....... but i dont like all those allen heads.....i think if it were smooth it would look better. IMO
They do make a two other versions of the Nitrous that don't have the hardware around the perimeter. I would have the same concerns. I like the smoother version of this wheel better.

I agree with you about classic lines of cars and guitars. I think part of that comes with the fact that those of us that grew up or were enthusiasts in that time have a picture in our minds of what "belongs" on these cars. Others don't remember the trends of the times. Perhaps they have more of a blank canvas. I personally think there are many modern wheel designs that are well thought out and nice to look at. I certainly think there are limited designs that look good on most cars, new or old, the C3 included.
Revolution RFX modular (16", this is actually a front wheel/front tire)
I actually bought exactly this wheels and would like to ask if the original Whel nuts for the Rally wheels of my 69 Corvette would be ok for these wheels ?
