1988 17" rims

Does anyone know if there is a such thing as right and left hand rims on my 35th. Just seen someone on ebay advertise a right hand side one and did not know there was a difference when I installed mine last week. Have not drove it yet since install but will be, should I check the positions all new rubber on them.

Take a look at my rims and picture those mounted on the RH side. For a larger pic of wheel orientation check out the larger pic of my wrecked 35th in "My Corvette Photos".

Yes, wheels have a proper mounting direction as well as the directional tread tires.

well I know the directional on the tires is correct I made sure of that when putting them on, guess I will have to take a look at the rims front and back to make sure they are correct, thanks

Yep, you definitely want the spokes poinging the right way.

BTW, my prior 35th was #65, the current one in #658 what build sequence # is your 35th?
