Looks very strange to me, just doesn't fit the C_3 styling at all.

Can anyone tell if those are 20's or 22's? They seem extra big but it may be due to the flush spokes. I'm not endorsing these, but they are keeping a C3 on the road.

His money...his choice. I don't have to like it...and I don't!

I do have to say, when I was selling tires and accessories, I loved guys like that...great sales commissions.

It's an economic "enigma wrapped in a riddle".

How to spend $2500.00 on your Corvette and make it worth $2500.00 less.

Proof daring to be different isn't always better.

I would say at least 22s and most likely 24s.
Look at the brake rotors. They look silly. Why who you want to make a "Donk" Corvette? Those sidewalls and wheel lips wouldn't last long around here which might not be a bad thing.
