Re: Help selecting wheels (Markm10431)
Out of the two, the Laser, but I really like the wheels that Shrack has on his 81. Here is a link to the pic from his website:

Re: Help selecting wheels (Markm10431)
Well...I kind of think plus-sized rims of a more modern design tend to not blend well with the sharks. The Lexys are an exaggerated illustration of that point. There's something about the "period correct" looks that are appealing to me.
That having been said, I'll vote for the Lasers. The Lexys are a little over the top, IMHO.

Re: Help selecting wheels (Markm10431)
The Lexys look a little like Chrome Z06 wheels to me. Unless you're gonna do up some nice Rotors and Calipers, a little too open for a C3.
But, if you did do Rotors and Calipers, I'd be the start of the opposition and go with the Lexys.
Question, how'd you choose those two? There are dozens to choose from. If you like em, go for it.

Re: Help selecting wheels (78Vette-SA)
well, I went to the local dealer who would even talk to me about custom wheels, and those were the 2 that I liked. I like the look of the eidlbrocks and the TT2's but eveyone has em.

There's a few custom wheel selections here: http://www.corvettefaq.com/wheels.asp
If you get a set, be sure to submit 'em! :)
