Default New rims for a 1990

I am thinking of getting some new rims for my 1990. Right now I have the stock 17" rims. So, my few simple questions are who online has good deals on rims, I am looking for something stylish that shows more of the brake rotors like a C5 style spoke rim, and I was looking at rims in MidAmerica and for there core charge they require you to return your old rims for credit in "good condition". Whe qualifies as "good condition"? My current rims have some dings and scratches around the edges, but thats about it. Thanx!

My advice is to stay away from Mid America, go to www.afswheels.com and find your car, granted they only have ZR1 and Z06 style wheels, they're prices are very good, Mid America over charges by a ton. Also try Discount Tire Co. at www.tires.com and do a search for a '90 Corvette, they have a nice selection.

Good luck my fellow '90 friend :cheers:

If you like the C5 wheels, hop over to the C5 parts for sale/wanted forum as they are always, it seems, selling wheels for decent prices.
