Default Paging all Corvette guru's

I have seen at least 3 Corvette's in the Tampa area with wheels that I think are stock but haven't seen them around much and would like more info. I'm keeping my camera with me in case I see them and can post a pic but maybe you can help they are directional but only have 5 or 6 spokes that go from the main part of the wheel to the edge and are kinda flat I've only seen them in brushed aluminum I know this is kinda vauge but any help on this would be great. Thanks

That could have been the wheel that was used believe only one year ..... 1989 I think?

Anyone else .... I kinda looks like a cross between a trurbine and a sawblade ... I will look for a pic and post asap!

Yeah those are the '89s. I hardly ever see 'em. Hardly ever seeing 'em on C4s makes them look kind of outta place when you do see them.

This is an '88 the only year for them. They came in 16" diameters. The 90's look just like the 88-89 17" except that there is no locking center cap on the '90.
