Default 1990 Corvette Wheels

Are the GM alloy wheels on a 1990 Corvette used on other years or are they unique to 1990?
Thx
Jim

1990 wheels were a 1 year only design,the 88-89 had covers over the lug nuts where the 90's didn't and I believe that 91's went to the saw blade styled wheels.

That site has good info, except the 88 yellow with base wheels is showing 90 wheels on it...No center caps? but the rest of it looks correct.

Those are actual '88 base wheels, they are different than the '90s by a little bit, and they are only 16" compared to the '90 17s. For being the base wheel in '88 you don't see very many of them around. IMO they are pretty ugly

Interesting..I've got my 4 original 1990 Alum alloy wheels that I pulled off my 90 Corvette back when it was less than a year old....Hard to imagine that was 15 years ago!!
They look NEW and tires hold about 70% tread.
Looking to sell them as I no longer have the car.
Thx for all the info.
Jim
