BBS or ARE wheels?
Anyone using either of these wheels, I've got an 86 and was thinking of staying with the 16's and going after market? If anyone has a pic or a link to a pic. I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I have been using BBS 16 x 10 in. wheels on all four corners of my '86 since '87 when they were the only thing available. If I were buying today I would go with 17 in. wheels as you will have many more options with performance tires. 16 in. autocross tires are getting harder to find. I bought 8 Hoosiers when they announced they were discontinuing the 275 45R 16's.
Sorry no pics of the wheels handy.

i have to agree most performance tires are made in 17 & 18 " these days. since either will fit on a corvette quite well why stay with the 16's ? i think the bbs rx is available in a nice 17x10 which gives you a 275, 285 40 17 on all 4 corners
