Bought my vette ('84) in '91......the rims were on it from the beginning of my ownership....so I just kept them up till now anyway......
You didn't tell me if they are rare or not....and if for sale on E-Bay...how much were they going for.....your info will be very helpful....
thanks
tony

The only wheel options that I show for '84 are 16x8.5 or 16x8.5 front/16x9.5 rear for the Z51.

What is a Gotti Rim?

OA 84 if memory serves me correctly these are 5 spoke right? They were popular during that era and recall seeing them on Porsches and such :seeya
