WOW, looks just like my convertible, dark blue with dark blue interior and white top. Even down to the Kenwood radio! And both have 73 Texas plates. Just that you have a 4-speed and I have an L82 Cool

Looks better with rallyes. Are those mid-year center caps?

Cant beat a clean set of rallys on a nice vette. You made the correct decision.

Rallys look best (altho, I must admit; the wires DO look good on the vert!).

A buddy is getting chromed Rallys from SUMMIT for his '77 this Winter;
have seen them on several C3s, using only the center cap (no beauty/trim rings), and they look very good, 'specially on chrome-bumpered Sharks...

Stock looking rims are nice BUT if I could get my hands a nice set of wires for the car at a REASONABLE price they'd be on in a minute. Guess it must be a leftover from my English sport car days.

BTW: Another look I like is the stock rims painted black and use the stainless trim rings and caps.....
