Mine are C4 wheels -- 1996.
See signature, far right.

Looks suspiciously like a C4 windshield frame. Is it a C3 with a C4 chassis?
Got anymore info?

Sorry Mike, I don't have ANY information about this car. It is just one of a 1000 pictures that I have collected from the internet.
It is a really cool car! :cool:

Ive got a great side pic of a 70-72 with Z06 non-chrome rims on it. I'm pretty sure its a photoshop job, but looks pretty real. Someone send an e-mail address and I will send it to you to post it.
Makes me think about doing this to my Black 82, except I would probably go chrome.

Stingy74 Thats it...you do good work... :cheers: Ill probably keep that pic forever.
I also like the rims on your vette. Ive got the 82 stock rims and going to 17 inchers are the next thing to do.. decisions..decisions..too many to choose from-but thats good

Not without some sort of adapters. There's simply too much backspace on those wheels to just bolt them up.

Wow, those look really nice, esp the Z06 wheels. IMO, I think that not many wheels look as good as stock ralleys or TT2s.

I think there is a company making Z06 'replica' wheels with more traditional backspacings for hot rods/trucks/etc. I'm not sure of the company, but I think I saw an ad in Street Rodder.
