I think a set of C5 thinspokes sets off a late-C4 better than anything else I've ever seen. Here's my favorite shot of my '94 with chromed thinspokes:



Be well,

Thanks for the kind words, Brian. I do love these wheels on this car. Depending upon which car I decide to drive, they might be rolling through your state next week!

Be well,

I'll be in Kissimmee (no, not to see the mouse) next week, Key West the following week. I'm not sure which car I'll be driving yet, but I'll decide that tomorrow. Unfortunately, we're having more winter weather here today, and that means road salt.

If you'd like to try to meet up, drop me an email, and we can see what might be possible. It would be to shake your hand.

Thanks for the link to the events. I'll check it out.

Be well,

SJW

I've been looking at thin spokes as well, just not sure if I want chrome or polished.
