C3/wheel pic needed

I'm looking at a very nice set of 15 x 8 knock offs (similar to the OE 15 x 6 on late C2s).
Does anyone have a pic of these wheels on a C3?
Thanks

This is the best I can do. I took this pic a few months ago. It didn't turn out too well but i'm sure you get the idea of what it looks like. Those are true '63 Corvette knock off's. They require a special hammer to tighten them.

Here's the link: http://www.accesscomm.ca/users/mainaaron/knockoff80.jpg

I think GDaina has these on his 68. If the new forum cooperates, look up his profile and it will be in his sig picture.

This is a variation on the same theme. These are Western Cyclone II mags (15 x 8) with a cone and spinner kit offered by Eckler's in the early 1980s. They do look very nice on a C3. They gather dust in the basement as I went back to factory alloys. They are basically knock-off imitations. Complete with all alloy wheel mounting bolts. And original Western caps also. If anyone wishes to re-cycle these let me know!
