Have you looked through the Photo section under C4? There are all kinds of pictures of cars and wheels and that may help in finding the right wheels for your car.

Looking at C6 Z06 style right now, but need other ideas as well.

Thanks!
Timely thread. I am thinking about getting new wheels when I get new tires. I rarely see Polo green cars with aftermarket wheels.

There are a few posted that look really nice.

While I really like mine:




I admit that I like Gregg-73 even better. I think that those AR Torq Thrust wheels are the best looking chrome wheels ever on a C4 vette

Side view pic available? Have pretty much decided on these or the C5 thin spokes....

It just seems like SO MANY cars have the GS/ZR wheels on them.

Are you guys running stock brake systems with these wheels?

Thanks. you can see more of a side shot in my sig pic. Yes I run the stock brake system with these wheels. I run these in the summer time and the stock wheels with 4 snow tires mounted for the winter rainy season.

I've been blessed. My 96 vert came with these wheels 4 years ago.

I really want to replace my wheels also. The previous owner liked these charcoal rims, but I do NOT

I liked c4crusers and Mr. Peabodys

I am also looking at wheels for my 96 polo green LT4. I would like the chrome ZR1 replicas, but cant decide whether to get the 11" wide rear wheels, or 9.5" all the way around. I'm leaning towards the 9.5's because it looks like the 11's stick out from the wheel well. The 11's also have a 50mm offset, which is the same as the Grand Sport, so they must poke out a bit and I don't like that look. Please keep the pictures coming! Those C6 five stars look great too. I can't decide what to get!

So here is something to consider. IF you run the 9.5" on all 4 corners, you will be able to rotate your tires from front to back. This is going to add significantly to the life of the tires. And your car will still look cool from the back.

It may even allow you to spend a bit more on a better quality tire
