C3 pace car style rims on c4
Hi, I found some rims I am wondering if they would fit on my c4 corvette. They are from a c3 and they are the pace car style wheels. Does anyone have any pictures of these on a c4 so I can see them and I think they would fit but just stick out a bit. The offset is zero I think so they would stick out about even with the fender is what I’m thinking. I like the looks of these rims on a c3 a lot and I wondered if they would look good on a c4.

I actually think it would look good. They still have the white lettered avenger gt on them, maybe I will see if I can put them on the car to see if they look good before I buy them.

There is nothing worse to spoil the more modern looks of a C4 than to put anachronistic smallish wheels on the C4 - especially with raised white lettered tires. I say don't do it.

Yeah it probably would look similar to that, I actually kind of like it because the c3 rims have a chrome center cap too but I don’t think they are for sale anymore. Thanks for helping out to figure out what they would look like. I think they would look better too with the avenger gt white letters. Here is how my rims are now but I have to keep up with painting the letters on them.

I believe there is a bit of misunderstanding here. The C3 Pace Car (1978) had the following rims:

Those wheels appear to be made by a company named Pacer.

No, that’s not the rims. I was just saying I like the white lettered tires because this is the wheels I have now. I found out that it’s not actually pace car rims by the way, it’s just the same style without the red line like on the late c3’s.

The white letter tires look good on C4s. Member MGsVettes has them.

16" base wheels from an 88 Vette would give it the look you're after with the correct wheel specs.
