Default Do they exist?!?

Hello everybody,

I'm searching for realy nice rims, but I have something in my mind. But I can't find them on the net?

I want to have (chrome or polished maybe normal) 16 or 17" rims.
I realy like '91 to '96 c4 sawblade's

But the center "sawblade" is at the front of the rim, and I want a rim with the center furhter in the back or the rim. I think you call it backspacing?!

When i came across Gary White's vette i thought; he has them. If you look at his signature. ( i hoop he doesn't mind my borrowing it :D ) it looks like a sawblade.

After asking him, he told me that they were Centerliner Scorpions (big picture)

Well, it's close but not exactly.

So what I want are; 16 or 17" sawblade style rims with backspacing. Tires 255 front and up to 295 at the back. If you got them in chrome or polished? Yes please!
Got a picture of one, or something that come's close, post it here please. All other idea's are also welkom! O, i don't want to make them my self :D .

Greets Peter.

I do not know if the "Sawblade" wheels are made with the correct backspacing to fit a C3. I think you will need spacers/adapters.
