Default How do these rims look?

I'm planning on getting new rims when I replace my tires after the winter. While I like the ZR1s and Y2Ks, I want something different. This is one of the two styles that Tire Rack has that fit the C4:



Would love HRE or Fikses, but they're too pricey.

Thanks for the input.

Looks :cool:. But remember that the more exposed the brakes and rotors are, the more you might have/want to clean and then you will probably endup painting the calipers, then the hubs, clean up the suspension etc. It just never ends :crazy:

HAHA, originality is so unwelcome here.

I like them. A touch different and the deep lip on the rim is nice. Would look :cool:

Don't listen to T-Sip Ed, hes an Austin Hippie :D

Those wheels will look good. I show them to be 18s though, is that what you wanted? 18s are good becuase all of the new tire technology is going bigger, and plus it leaves room for brake upgrades in the future.

They're made by AT Italia. I don't really know anything about the brand. They come in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 for $389-409. 285/305-18 tires seem to be in the $250-350 range.

Those look like Fikses. Get them, with some custom finishing they will look bad.

Tire Rack wheels "originality"? Give me a break! The more non-corvette crap a person adds to his car the better it will look in Puerto Rico. And I still say = :U
