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

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.

Callaway had thoses rim from 88-89.
Z51 in 1996 were 9.5" all around
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?

Re: Corvette wheels (JoBy)
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.
