Help me find some wheels!!
The original turbines I have aren't very impressive and only use a 255 size tire. I'm looking for something a little more flashy with a wider rear tire size...the catch is, I don't want to buy any adapters! 
The cost of nice a-molds AND the adapters is just too much 
So what's a nice wheel out there that'll bolt right on to my '85???

AFS Wheels have ZR-1 style wheels in the proper 38mm offset for 84-87 cars so you don't need adapters. The most popular is 17x9.5" which will mount 275/40-17 tires with no change in speedo readings and plenty of room for later brake upgrades to 13" rotors.
www.afswheels.com They also have wheel and tire combos. They will have wheels and wheel/tire sets on eBay every so often.

I just bought some black ZR-1's from AFS off of ebay. $630 including shipping. Now for some decent tires. Probably another $700-900.
If I could only find a good source for the tire pressure sensors (read inexpensive). Otherwise it will be next Spring before this is all put together.

Oh I'm watching...
And JRC, my brother got a gold plating kit and he said if I bought the gold he'd plate my wheels for me ...but right now I think that'd just be too much bling
