'73 wheels
I am wanting to replace my '77 AL. wheels with originals. On "The 73 Spot", the wheels listed for '73 were "Short Spoke Spider" and Cast Al wheels. Is that the only wheels available? Without the bid sheet, is there any way to know?
Anyone have a pic of the "spider" wheels?
My intention was to replace the Aluminium wheels on it with Rallys. After looking around on here and catalouges, I'm bot sure what to get.
Anyone want a set of '77 AL wheels with caps? Pics in my album.

Stainless or Original Rallys
Thanks for the reply. I had never heard of "Short Spoke Spider" I found them in one book going for $600 for stainless and $699 for original.
Why would the stainless be less?

The standard wheel for all C3s was the Ralley Wheel. 15x7 for 68 only, 15x8 for all other years. All 15x8 Corvette ralley wheels are stamped AZ.
There were no optional wheels for the 73s, but you could order the optional P02 wheelcovers. These are hubcaps, not wheels.
Shop around. AZ wheels are plentiful.
