Re: Corvette wheels (JoBy)
Here's my 2 cents worth on what I believe to be true of '84-'87 16" wheels. The '84 and '85 wheels were made from an aluminum casting. These wheels do not shine much when polished. from '86 to '87 Enkei produced the wheels for GM and they were made of an aluminum that could be polished to a high luster. These Enkei produced wheels also were slightly larger on the inside, which means you can use the '88 and later 2-piston front brake caliper with a 13" rotor. The Enkei produced wheel can be identified by a small symbol in one of the slotted radial wheel vents which looks like an "m" grafted to an upside down "J". All '84's had 8-1/2" wide wheels, as did '85-'87 base models, but the Z51 equipped cars had 9-1/2" wheels front and rear.

Re: Corvette wheels (vette92_1)
[QUOTE]One thing I noticed, you have the 91 and 92 style listed for base models up to 96. But, in 93 the wheel changed it basically looks the same but with a machined face.

Re: Corvette wheels (JoBy)
I added the 1988 35th Anniversary Edition White Wheels.
Are there any more wheel variations?
