Rim Choices ???
I have a 86 Corvette I am just wondering what Rim choices I have for my car, if anyone has aftermarket rims could you post pics. I would like to get something in a 17" or 18".

These are just the ZR1 style 17" wheels with the polished lip. I went through the Photo Albums and looked at all the C4 pictures in there. I'm still not sure what I'll replace these with but it did help me narrow it down to a few styles.

Mine had these on it when I bought the car. Stock CE wheels...
I swapped those for these, 18" C6R style wheels, but I'm wanting to sell or trade these for a set of black ZR-1's w/11's in the rear... Goodluck on the wheel search...

If buying aftermarket need 38mm offset.
If used without adapters, the stock '88 -'96 rims sit too far inboard on early C4's.
AFS makes ZR1 copies with the correct offset to bolt on early C4's ; 17 x 9.5 and 17 x 11, black or polished

I said in another thread that before I bought my car that I didn't give a 80s vette a second thought. After being on the forum for awhile now I've completely changed my mind and the two 86s above are a good example of why.
