Default Question About Wheels...(more)

I live in chicago and plan on driveing my car all year. Goodyear makes mud & snows for the vette. I was wondering if anyone would lknow where i could find a set of steel wheels that fit the car or if there is a better option. Also do i need all four tires or just the rears?

Thanks for any input or advice.

Sam.

Try picking up a set of 97-99 C5 wheels in the Classifieds section on this forum. I have seen many sets of them for sale as low as $350! You can't go wrong for that much.

I used to live in Chicago. Thanks for reminding me why I put up with 5 months of God awful heat and humidity in Houston.
