Hello,

new member, I am looking for OEM cast aluminum rims for a 1977 corvette,


Thanks

Where are you located?

I have two complete sets of aluminum wheels here now but they are not what you are looking for, I suspect. When you say "for a 1977" you mean the black center, blacked out fin style of wheel used on a 1977.
There are a variety of wheels that are correct, and a variety of after market wheels.

The only OEM wheels used on 1977 Corvettes were the 15" X 8" Ralley steel wheel made by Kelsey Hayes; and the 15" X 8" Aluminum Wheels as described above manufactured by, you got it, Kelsey-Hayes. K-H wheels will be marked on the back of the wheels for the aluminum wheels.

One of my sets is the Kelsey-Hayes correct wheel but the black paint was removed from the centers. These would need to be re-polished and painted in the center section to match the 77 style. I have new Cooper Cobra Tires mounted to them and balanced at the moment so you can see what they would look like mounted.


Center caps can be readily found after market in new condition that will dress these up nicely. I have a full set of the 77 style. (Emblems changed for different years but the 76 and 77 are the same emblem with the blacked out centers on the wheels.

They are available and can be found fairly easily so be patient and I am sure you will find a set that may fit your needs.

Good luck with your search.

Hello,

would it be possible to post some pictures of the rims?

Thanks

I am in Northeast London, and I will probably be selling the ones off my '80 as soon as I'm done adapting c5 17s and 18s

Yes these are the rims. As said Before:
As is $300 or polished $400 (will look like new)

David, Do you still have this set of wheels? Thanks Tim

AllC34Me

I have a set of aluminum wheels, yes. These wheels were silver anniversary edition with the red stripe and no black in the center. The wheels had tires mounted on them but were not mounted on a car. The red line has been removed from the wheels and one of the four has been highly polished to show how nice they can be polished. None of them are dull, these are very nice wheels.

But to answer your question, yes, I still have a set of aluminum wheels.

Thanks David,
I am looking for a set for my 1980. What do you want for them with or without the tires. Tim

AllC34Me

Tim, I will PM you with specifics but the pair shown in the picture is not near as nice as the pair I have here now and those in the picture, with tires, sold on Craigslist and are no longer available.

Again I will PM you and get your e-mail address so I can send you pictures and pricing to gauge your interest.

Best regards,

David

For $25 extra per wheel you can make these look like new? You must have some really, really cheap labor out there. This is very interesting....

That's how much our wheel shop charges us. We are constant flow of business and send others to them. Great people, Father & Son business.
