Default Identify these C4 wheels please!!

Hey guys!

Please, can you look this video and identify those C4 wheels for me???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJFaz...eature=related

They really transform the overall appearence of the C4 84' Corvette on the video! Are they 18' or 20' wheels? Where can I get them?

Thanks guys!

I'm sure that if you go to any Pep Boys, Town Fair Tire, or any place that sells the custom wheel packages you will find them and probably save some dough while at it. I don't think that you will be in the big money range. I never saw the logic in $5000 worth of wheels on a $6000 car

I don't recall you asking for opinions in your OP so you are not oblidged to listen to mine or any that were offered ...it is YOUR car so make it yours

I believe I saw that vid here before with the owner stating they are 20" wheels.
Hope this helps and have fun with YOUR vette.

Those wheels make a very nice looking car look like a RICE ROCKET. My opinion.

Now having said that, if you like them go for it. Just not my cup of tea........

I like to see different wheel setups on Vettes and those wheels look really nice especially with the lowered suspension.
It's boring, to see the same stock C4 and C5 wheels all the time.

Here's a link to a wheel that's very similar. http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/...1328562P0A.htm

Those wheels look like crud and should never have been put on your Vette.
Besides making your car look like a joke I`m sure it rides rough and handles like a school bus.
PS
Very dissappointing!!!!!!!!!!!

People in the hood would appreciate wheels like that. They are still too big IMO. I'd rather see them on an 80s Chevy Caprice or Cadillac with a House of Kolor paint job. But please not a Corvette of ANY year... please...

The dude who put those wheels on the vette is Swedish, so I suspect the wheels are of European origin. But, as said before, you can contact him thru U-tube

As others have stated, it's your car so you do what makes you happy. BUT! Keep in mind that it probably takes an acre to make a u-turn with wheel like that, you will only be able to turn the front wheels just so far without interference.
