Wheels for 91 Z Convertible

I bought the car with these on it: (C5 Corvette wheels, 17 front 18 rear)


I bought some wheels with tires on them for the tires solely but tried them on anyways for kicks (Eagle 203's 16 inch):


Check out the Eagles with stock center caps, looks way better IMO. BUt they do not lock in.

Re: Wheels for 91 Z Convertible

I swapped the tires off the Eagles today and can't wait to try these on my car: Stock wheels re-furbished and bare aluminum polished.

Re: Wheels for 91 Z Convertible

Should I run the Corvette wheels a bit longer or go for the stockers??

Re: Wheels for 91 Z Convertible

All of them look great. Polish the stock ones if your gonna pit em back on.
I miss my stockers polished.

Re: Wheels for 91 Z Convertible

I liked the stock wheels so much that I put my other wheels up for sale the same day I took them off!

Re: Wheels for 91 Z Convertible

i like the c5's better personally but your car is so clean the stock wheels make it look so original and well preserved. Personally i run c6's on my 91 partly because my car is not as clean as your body and paint wise, so having flashier wheels draws attention away from all my other flaws,

My paint is good from far but far from good.
