Some of the Coolest C4 Corvette Wheels Ever

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.

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.

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.

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.
