you had either rally wheels with center caps(no spinners) and trim rings, or alum factory mag wheels(no spinners).

Ralley wheels were standard for all C3s with the exception of options packages which required optional wheels (B2Z, Pace Car, CE). None ever had spinners. Anything other than the ralley wheel was optional at extra cost.

I wonder if one can still purchse spinners that will fit a C 3? I have not seen them in years. I always liked the "half-moons" from the 1950's, I think we called them flippers as there was an elevated bar that divided a chrome hubcap into two halves. Really neat.

Some of the aftermarket providers carry spinners and spinner kits for the aluminum wheels.

I've seen pics of a spinner on a ralley wheel derby. Can't say whether it was a one-off by owner or an aftermarket accessory. It looked good.
