Default Wheels

Anybody know what kind of wheels these could be? I love the look of these and im looking for something pretty similar to these to fit an 81 vette without doing any modifications.

Do the wheels on the Vette in the signature look like what you are looking for? If so, let me know and I can tell you where to get them. (Father hijacking son's account again - sorry son.)

ElectronBlue, I ordered them through a Firestone dealer near Austin, Texas. They bought them from American Racing for me. These are custom made and required specific measurements to make sure they were properly sized. Even though my son got Discount Tire Center to measure his car, they wouldn't guarantee a fit. The folks at Firestone was willing to make the guarantee, so we went with them. They are pretty expensive, about $450 each. I don't know if you can buy them cheaper stock, but the guarantee of fitting was a big part of the decision to get them where I did. I hope this helps a little.

WOW! Those suckers are real expensive. Maybe when I win the new TN lottery I will get me some. Wishful thinking is great. :smash:
