Wheel question
I have been looking at the available wheels for my 92 coupe. It has OE replicas that weigh 32lbs in the rear. 
Obviously I would like to replace them with something lighter. The Crays and are nice but spendy.
I have really good tires (Conti ExtremeContact DWS) so I don't want to replace them. The rears are 18 and the fronts are 17. This limits my options somewhat.
I like the Motegi MR122, and the Konig Oversteer Opal,but nobody seems to list them as a fit for C4 Vettes. The numbers look OK for offset and so I was wondering if anyone has them and if so could you post a pic?
I have a limited budget for wheels since they are not a "need" but...
Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

If you want to do the job right, look to Fikse, HRE, Forgeline, etc. Those wheels will ad value and performance to your car.
The $200 wheels made for Lexus and Mitsubishi give you nothing but headaches.

That's because they don't come in the rim width that is proper for the C4.

but he's saying the Cray's are "spendy" so I don't think this level of quality wheel is going to be anywhere near his budget.
