what wheels
I have a 85 with 87 wheels on it. Ive notest that they dont make many nice wheels that are wide enough to fit the c4. I did find some nice upgrade corvette wheels that zo6 performance makes. Where did you all go to get some of your wheels.

I got my z06 style polished wheels from OE Wheel Distributors in Sarasota Fl. They are 17x9.5 all the way around. Your car would require adapters.

There aren't a ton of wheels available, and even less that actually look good.
But it all depends on you taste. With an 85 you are limited to very few wheels but with spacers you can use any Corvette wheel from 88 to 04 (I don't know about C6 wheels).
I'm starting to dig the "Crager"-style wheels on early C4s. Funny how our tastes change over time.

I bought painted Y2k's from O.E. Wheels out of Sarasota Florida as well. I do know that you will need 1 1/4" adaptors to make em fit right. I'll have mine on by the end of the week !

Y2K's for later C4's
I put a set of Y2K's on my 94 coupe, but of course it didn't require spacers. Made a big difference in the look of the car over the "sawblades".

I had thought about getting rid of the saw blades, then that would mean new rotors and calipers(at least painted) , does it ever end???!!
I hope not!
