I have these...
...and these...
...and these...
...for my project.
I plan to keep the stock ralleys (255/60/15 rear and 245/60/15 front) and the 17" SLP ZR-1 look alikes (255/45/17 rear and 245/45/17 front) and change them when I want to change the look and handling of the car. The gold rims are 16" GTAs with 255/60/16 rear and 245/60/16 front. Well, I might keep all three sets for variety.
Ok, so for a short while I had more money than sense...now I have less money.

Do those GTA rims bolt right up or did you need adapters? I always liked those. Never seen them on a complete C3 though.

I'm going for Collector's plates so I have no choice but to go with stock 15" inchers. Got a decent deal from Corvette America; triple chromed slotted aluminum wheels with retro T/A's - mounted and balanced. My Vette will be a Summer Cruiser so I won't pine for anything larger. But I am curious.
