But, maybe it's just the angle of the car and refections.

New c5 thin spoke chrome wheels
Just installed repo c5 thin spoke chrome wheels Friday and so far they have been great. Nice plating , true running easy balancing reasonable. Purchased from Amazon but they come from OE wheels in Fla.

I was thinking the same thing. The spokes look wider on the back in the picture.

Good eye. I chose a 18/9.5 deep dish look for the rear while keeping the stock style for the front. Spokes are wider and it has a 1 1/2 inch dish. Tried to be a little different but stayed with stock width wheels. Do you think it looks weird? I was trying to be a little different.

Thank you for the reinforcement. It was hard to make that decision based on pictures only. I liked it from the time they arrived but I did wonder what others who are much more corvette savvy would think. It was the deep dish with the wider wheel that I thought might pull it off. Again thanks.

Chrome wheels sure look good on a TR car (but I also like the painted wheels - lots of metallic chips in those). 
for your mod.
