After Market Wheels
I am looking to purchase after market wheels for my 91 coupe. I would like to have a different style than the typical Vette replica wheels.
As you well know choice is very limited. I am wondering about using spacers or adapters. Would this work and how would I go about making sure that I get the right size ?

There are tons of vendors on wheels. I got my Z06 replicas from Americas Tires

I think these wheels are AWESOME! http://www.pinnacleautoworks.com/category_s/137.htm
They're available from "Pinnacle" a Corvette Forum vendor. I haven't seen them installed on any C4 Vette. I like the "Manta" in hyper silver.
They come in 17x9 and 18x10.5 in the correct C4 offset. At $1014 a set, I'm thinking of replacing my chrome ZO6 replica's with these.
I also, don't like the use of "wheel adapters" even though many members have used them and have found them to be safe. I just think wheels are important and should fit properly on the hub without any additional equipment.
Look for aftermarket wheels to fit a Fourth generation Camaro which has the same offset as your "91" Vette. TireRack has a lot of different wheels for the Camaro Z28 that'll fit your Vette. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resul...8&autoModClar=
