89 coup , red

Thinking about a set of chrome rims, with baby moon

hub caps, for my ride.

Can it be done? Would it look good?

I got a set of polished wheels from AFS on e-bay.

I'd post pics of mine, but you can see 'em in My Corvette Pics. Black Z06 Motorsports...

<---<<

But I'd just be showing you more of what you see on every other Corvette out there. You seem to wanna take the road less travelled. More like a dirt path!

Find someone with the wheels you want, and snap a couple digital pics. Then, find someone with Photochop skills and have them chop the wheels on your car. See if you like 'em.

Ive never seen a set of moons on a vette except some C1 and C2's. Depends on your personal taste.

It would certainly look different. I ran baby moons in the 70's. Seems kinda dated for an '89 but if you like 'em go for it.

How about a set of Rally style wheels as came stock on the 67 Vettes. I think you can get them in 17" now at some of the wheel companies. Might look very cool and retro also.
