I always loved the early C4 wheels. Particulary the 84-85's with the dark centers....they really stood out. My 87 OEM wheels...I had them Chrome plated....I think they look awesome. Only complaint I have is with the whole wheel chromed...center caps & lugs ...at a distance you loose the design of the wheel....they look like flat baby moons.
The late model C4 sawblades are nice. Trouble with the 88-90 wheels are the cost of replacing the center caps...big bucks.....GM is smoking dope along with Eckler..Corvette Central etc for new center caps .

The only factory C4 wheels I ever really liked were the GS ones. But I like my black ZO6 replicas even better.

I prefer the sawblades over the 5 spoke ZR-1 style wheels only because there are so many cars with various 5 spoke wheel configurations. The sawblades are more unique and specifically designed for the corvette.

I liked the '90 wheel so much, I bought a used set and put them on my '93 Ruby (After polishing them, of course!).

another vote for the 1990 wheels. I had mine polished and they look awesome. The 90ZR1 wheels are even better with that extra deep dish.
