Did some searching around, it looks like it’s been a long time since folks have posted a wheel thread w newer aftermarket wheels for the C3, let’s see what you have,
I’m shopping for 18 inch wheels, something custom and looking for ideas.
Nice coupe!! Wheels look awesome! I wouldn't change a thing...but if your want change, you can get just the spokes, interior rim, and center wheel mount area powder coated to a darker silver/ charcoal grey. The darker spokes would look great against the bright silver rim. However, I wouldn't go black on the spokes
I don’t mind sharing mine again though.
Year one 17x8 and 17x9 aluminum rallys. Nitto NT555 G2 tires 255/50r17 in the front 275/50r17 in the rear. Tredwear decals that line up perfectly with the lettering on the tires gives them a raised white letter look.
About as close as I could get to factory appearing wheels and tires while also taking advantage of larger diameter wheels and modern tire compounds. I enjoy it very much.

Suggestion"google" search "C3 Corvette 18" wheels".
If you want max width "C3 Corvette 18X10 wheels"
Hit "images" also.
This is a forum members with Rocket 18X10s and a 5.5 backspace.These cars can all be a little different so what works on one might not on another.
18X9.5 with a 5.0 backspace and a 275 width tire seems to be safer.
