17 Inch Ansen Sprint Wheels
This is a 17x8 inch Ansen Sprint with an 80 Wheel Cap installed. It only needs a 1/4 inch spacer to clear the brakes and you have to use an "LT" lug with the short shank at the cone if you want to use the original lug bolts. These are 235/55 Z 17 Pirelli P Zero Neros which are head and shoulders over any 15 inch tire out there and give a footprint larger than the 255/60 15s it came with. I had to bend and grind a special clamp from aluminum bar to hold them as you can see in the back picture. This may not be for everyone, but it gives the appearance of a factory wheel to the non-vette cultist.

It looks good! I thought about getting those but I wanted ones wider than they offered in a 17". I went with 15" US Mag versions instead. I would like to see how they look on the car as well!
