Default Corvette wheels

I am working on a reference page with all the 1984-1996 Corvette wheels.

I have tried to find good pictures of each desing.
I want to use picutures of Corvettes in stock condition.

I think the 88 16" wheel is the least known one.
I fist saw it at a meet, and I did not think that it was a stock wheel at first.

Please post if you have additional information that I should add.

You should add the offset of the 84-87 wheels as 38mm, and the 88-96 offset is 56mm

What about the 88 Callaway wheels ?
Should I add Callaway too, or keep it stock GM?
Did Callaway change wheels on all years?
Might add those at the end in that case.

I "think" the ZR1 rear offset was 36mm. Ask the ZR1'ers to be sure though.

The collectors were 8.5" and 9.5" if they didn't opt of the Z51.

Did the non CE Z51 have sawblades or 5-spokes?

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.
