Default New Wheels !!!
Finally got around to getting my new wheels mounted, balanced, and bolted onto my 94. They are Centerline Legend Retros. 9.5 x 17.
Here's the before and after pics. Sorry, not the best pics, used my cell phone camera.

Before with the A-Molds

After with the new Centerlines

I was going to say the same thing I like the first wheels were those 17x9.5 all around? I'm thinking of going with those wheels or maybe the C5 2001 and newer style wheels.

Hey you have a good looking car and it looks good with either set. The only thing that matters is what you like.

It's nice to see something different for a change.

A-Molds are a dime a dozen these days!...

Link?

As Tommy said, I could use a back-up set.
And at a $0.10/12, that's like $0.009 a piece.

That's one of the biggest reasons I bought the new ones. I wanted something different. Every car show I go to, all the C4's have chrome A-Molds. I wanted something to set my car apart from the rest of the crowd. I know they don't fit everybody taste, but I LIKE THEM !!

The new wheels would look alot better if they were bigger in diameter maybe 18 or 19's up front and 19's or 20's out back with a wider width out back as well.... Staggered big diameter wheels look really nice on sports cars.
