I like my "standard" re-polished turbines. Classic 80's style.

Guess I'm late adding to the thread. Caught a summer cold and been off the forum. Besides, you've already seen the black Z06's on a C4.

I hear ya, I haven't painted my calipers yet either. Haven't had the time. That car ('89) needs a ton of work...

My '94 (below) is in much better shape...here it is with the stock sawblades. I'll never change them, I like 'em. I hated the cuisinarts on the '89 though.

I found your rims on ebay, I think. They are on an 89 red convertible but they are not crome. Unfortunatly I would have to buy the whole car to get them. Its in Las Vegas.

Mine aren't chrome either.

Mine are just polished...in fact, my fingers are still sore...which is a bummer for a 2 fingered typer like myself...lol.

edit:

These definitely are not like mine...




I just went out and snapped 2 quick pics of mine...



and one showing the "dish" of the rears...please excuse the dirty-ness due to rain today.

Here's my '88 with '97-99 C5 wagon wheels. I really like the look of them and if you ever buckle one, you can easily find replacments around or on ebay. Just don't buy them from the dealer, the cost $1000 are piece (in canada anyway!). I got mine on ebay for $125 US. Tires are a little more expensive. Don't use the C5 good year run flats, they ride way too rough!

Did you have to use spacers with those? My co-worker has an 85 and it looks great with those wheels, but they sit in the fenders too far...although now thinking of it, the 88's don't need spacers, do they?

Your car looks very nice with those rims on it
