z06 wheels?
I'm just curious as to what people think about z06 wheels on a c3. I have a 1974 stingray, white with t-tops, and I'm thinking about getting some z06 wheels to play around with. I have rally wheels right now that i must say do look mighty fine. Opinions and pictures are welcome! Thanks everyone!

I think the newer C5 and C6 wheels look very good on C3s. Lots have done the swap. You can PM Sully1882 for pics and details.
Basically, you'll need a set of 2.5" wheel adapters to make up for the different back spacing. You might also have to relocate the E-brake cable brackets if they interfere with the new wheels. Simple grind and weld operation.

Personally, I don't like the Z06 wheels. Your '74 with the stock ralley wheels would be perfectly fine with me.
I used to run a set of P02s on my '74. They looked good.

It has something from every generation Corvette. That's the beauty of it. Have it YOUR way (or in this case MY way). But I respect that you don't like the look. It is not for everyone.
