Oh boy, another rim thread. Must be number 2,345,863. I'm in!
Not the coolest. That would be the Fikse FM5. Anything that came off a C4, C5, or C6 is just boring, unless somebody has a pic with the new C6 Z06 Spider Wheels. I do love the setup Lars has. I am, however, one of the first to to post with the AR TT II's.

Any additional pictures?
Can you tell me your wheel and tire sizes?
I am wondering how Cragar S/S rims would look on the C4?

Thanks.
These are the American Racing Torq Thrust II (2-piece wheel) in 17x9.5 all around with 275/40/17 BFG G-Force Sports. Both are a slightly lower offset than what the C4 calls for. The rears are almost perfect, the fronts stick out a tiny bit. THE TT II can be custom made for not much $$$.
More pics go to: Linky

You do mean WHEELS, don't you?
Wheel thread # 1,285,653... (rims are the outer part of the WHEEL)
I'll bite, however...
Custom made Center Line Longboards (no longer in production). 1 of two sets made for C4 (I sold the other set along with this '92).. I still have one set of these at the moment (probably going to use them on my Goat, but I'm undecided)
Greg Weld Motorsport wheels... also no longer in production - current wheels on my '85
Shot of the Longboards on the '85
The obligatory Z06 Motorsport wheels in black on my old red '96 (also gone)
Unknown wheels on a customer's '99 C5 vert (ugly, IMO)
So there you have it!

I like Brian Cunningham's Fikse rims. Been trying to get him to will them to me when he dies for the longest.

Your 1992 Dark Red Metallic/Black A4 had the ARE rims. I had a set on my '88, and I'd REALLY like to get another set for my '92. On my '88, I stripped the clear-coat off the outer lip, and had them polished perfectly.
It had the right mix of 'racer' look and class.

Another vote for Fikse.
