Some of the Coolest C4 Corvette Wheels Ever
by Bassem Girgis

The C4 Corvette is enjoying a sweet spot right now where it is inexpensive enough to be affordable, and modern enough to be a hoot to drive. Here's a few cool wheel options we spotted around the web to make your stand out.

Only see 1 photo. But the wheels in that; WOW those rear wheels really have an offset. I like deep rims.

OK, so lets say I want to replace my sawblades with chrome ZR1 style wheels for a 94.
Where do I go to get good ones?

Picture #5 are ZR-1 wheels again. And how did you not put Fikse FM5's on your list?

Speaking of wheels, can I get opinions on the choice between thee two?

Neither. The first is too 'wanna-be-C5' and the second is too old-school for the C4. You need something modern-but-not-copy-cat.

Think Forgeline/HRE/Fikse/CCW.....

Not to say that there aren't a bunch of these out there, but I haven't seen any cars in person with my Boyd Coddington ZR1's

I have Pm'ed 3 users to inquire about their wheel combo since joining.

One is an epleson (Sp? Probably) set that is super cool and no longer in production, sadly.. I asked about another set that are also very cool, but I can't seem to find my link right now?

The last set I saw that I thought looked sharp and are very affordable are on sb66's vette. And I did find the bookmark to those.





They're affordable and they add a classic look to an 80's vette.
As of now, it's the set I'm going with when I get the paint all done and out of the way.

You already know the answer ... they both look nice but nothing beats the TTII as a classic look.

It looks like I'm out of step with most of the forum because I prefer the look of a nice set of polished sawblades on a C4.
My previous car was a 68 Mustang Fastback which was restored to pretty much as it came from the factory. For 5 years I resisted my 3 sons urging me to put a set of 18" or 19" alloys on it because I like the look of the original chrome 12 slotters with GT hubcaps. I think large wheels look out of place on old cars, but that's just me and I don't expect many people to agree with me.

I have to admit I was influenced by the ability to find something that fit my 86 without using any spacers. These rims fit my requirements and I think they look sweet on the early body style. Plus they are 18" so there's a lot more tire options than there was with the original 16" rims.
