love the 89 & 90 factory 17" wheels in the original or polished finish
There was another wheel that these were a knock of that were Jonge Bloeds or something like that. The wheel option was 16-9.5 or 16-8.5 standard.

Jongbloed wheels are/were hard-core and high-dollar modular wheels. They are light and raceworthy. If you ever find a set in decent shape for a good price, buy them!

Jongbloed wheels are great wheels and super light for racing. However, the super light racing wheels are not good road wheels, they will develop cracks around where the rim halfs bolts together. I've seen a few when they are driven on the road.

I like the ZR1 it's the best bang for the buck. Also tires can complete the look.

Not sure if A.R. is still making them, but they used to have them in 9 1/2 and 11" x 17's with correct offset for early c4's. I could never afford them though....





Always like them - had them on my 67 Firebird 400, only polished rim though - clear coated..then with lacquer

I really liked the OEM GS A-molds but the fact that everybody’s got them kinda killed it,sold them to a guy in Germany but damn they looked good on that car.

Nicest are the Fikse FM5s hands down, been plenty of polls around the Vette/ZR1 forums and they seem to end up on top more often than not. One of the all time forum favorite cars such as Zelements car (for sale again) has FM5s. Im also partial to them since I have a set:

Default Offset vs width?

Is there any definitive answer on the widest possible rim and what the offset should be for a stock Second gen. C4?
5ABI VT seems to have hit the mark dead on but I can't find any

Love these ESR 18x10 but the offset is only +30mm and they stick out about ahalf inch to far.

info on his wheels other than he custom fabbed them himself. AND his is a ZR-1. I'm looking at a 19 inch rim for my next set of tires.

Widest tire I have seen on a C4 is a 335. You can run a 315 square with no problems.

Assuming it's not a ZR1, you can fit 11" wheels (pick any diameter) and 315 tires at all four corners with 50mm offset on a 1988-1996 C4. That will fit within the fenders - no poke. You can fit 11.5" wheels with 315 tires and 43mm offset, but they might poke out just a bit - depends on your camber setting.

Man there are just some grotesque monstrosities in this thread. Just horrible stuff (not naming names). I think the C4 is just a tough body to find clean looking wheels for. These two I did NOT find offensive - personally think these are two of the best in here:<br /><br /><br />https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c4-general-discussion/2313058-nicest-rims-for-c4-pictures-6.html#post1569964810<br /><br />
