Default Hyperblack wheels????

I have been looking for a wheel option where I don't have to use spacers. I found these from corvette america. 17x8 that will fit a C-3. (I have an 81)
Question is ..... has anybody used these? know anything about them?

PS... Or find them cheaper $899.99 plus shipping I guess

yeah I have a set and I like them alot - direct bolt on with no clearance issues.

I run kuhmo ecsta spt 255/50-17 on rears and 245/45-17 on front. Between the rims and tire there was a significant improvement in road feel - smoothness and handling. I got mine from mid-america they were the cheapest at the time, CC didnt carry them then, mid america was cheaper than buying from the mfr. - go figure

I got the same wheels in chrome from mamotorworks.com. I like 'em! Improved the handling and ride. If I can ever figure out how to post a picture on this forum I will.



Figured it out!
