It’s been a minute since I have been on here,a year ago,ordered some TTO originals,they have the silver spokes,which my car is two tone silver and blue,thought they would look good,they are also 8.5 wide,not knowing better at the time and a lot of work to get these to fit,had to replace all the studs,and had to use 11mm spacers to clear calipers because of the offset,well got them mounted they look good,but stick out to far on fronts,which I don’t like,I know TTO-D will fit and are 8 inch wide,and would clear calipers without spacers,but do they make these wheels in polished,I also prefer having spokes not curved,straight like the old cragar look,but not sure if that would cause a issue with clearance,I know Ridler and Vision wheels are straight,anybody have those on your vette. They look good,but don’t like having spacers on front causing them to stick out about an 1 inch.
Still trying to decide,because I do like these wheels,and haven’t had them aligned yet,although they are still going to stick out beyond fenders,and I am old school,so use to run Cragars on all my cars,but does anyone have them on corvettes,will they clear calipers, I know on these cars theirs not a lot of options,and I know the torque thrust D wheels will work,without any issues.
Back in the day…..😂 I was old school also, had wheels similar to yours and added a knockoff spinner, which I thought set them apart.
Maybe you could do something like that.
I don’t remember wheel sizes or offset as this was back in the late 70’s. Tires did come out even with wheel wells but they didn’t rub.
I think your wheels look great, maybe try to get away with less wheels spacer?
I'm pretty sure they make 8" TTO..Then you could keep the old school look. I have the same,but I have 8mm billet hub/lug centric spacers.I like the fat look all around.Cragers also need spacers

People have been using spacers since these cars were new with absolutely no issues. Any c3 corvettes with. s/s cragers has spacers due to caliper clearance.
Your wheels look great. 15 in tires look great on these cars.
I think they look good with your paint colors. I’d be looking to get blue line tires to match the body stripes. ( I don’t like RWL anymore ). I’m not opposed to 15” but I went with 18” on my C3. ( and happy with them ).
New wheels
