All those forgestars have no dish. Flat faced makes the car look wimpy compared to a little lip.

What are you talking about? Most Forgestars, including the ones above curve in as the spokes move toward the center. See below.

Did you just post a picture of a C5 on Classics and say "extremely ugly"? You should be banned from the forums for all eternity.

The whitewalls can be simulated (search for whitewall alloy wheel). Basically they are part of the rim itself and can accomodate a low profile tire to make it look more like a high profile tire. I have seen these types of rims used several times on the Motortrend show Bitchin Rides. Have no idea if it would look nice but was just a thought.

Put the wheels in motion. Looks like little pie pans spinning. Kinda sunk into the body.

By all means, let's see your choice of wheels.

Okay.

Took this pic yesterday. Just finished rebuilding the transmission myself.
My avatar is the engine. All polished.

Post one of your Corvette.

Wheels are a very fashionable design element..... look to the new super cars to see what GM will do.

A fine wheel. Actually one of my favorites. I wish it was available on the regular model of the car. Can’t say the polished is my favorite, I like a painted wheel, but a great wheel nonetheless.

Decades of Vette culture have ingrained in me a mantra of keep it original, so my rims are stock. I have had several Vettes in the past but as you can see I am currently Vetteless at the moment. Though I am on the prowl for a 91'-95' ZR-1 or possibly a C4 Callaway with aerobody (the more crazy the color the better).

I just hope they are easy to clean. The A mold wheels from the C4 have always been one of my all time favorites. Simple and I could actually clean them quickly
