Those pesky 16 inch wheels.
If anybody out here likes a 16 inch wheel, but doesn't like stock wheels, I have the cure. After much research, I found some 16 inch wheels made by Eagle Wheels that look fantastic! They are model No. 077 and can be looked at on Eagles website at eaglewheels.com. They are made for a front wheel drive, but work fantastic all the way around. :thumbs: You might have to shop price a little bit because the price really varies. I got mine for $125 each. It sucks that there aren't more after market 16 inch wheels made for an early C4.

I kinda still like the stock wheels. :rolleyes: I thought of upgrading to 17's with new 4 or 5 spoke rims. The tires I have now are almost new and I would hate to get rid of them.

Re: Those pesky 16 inch wheels. (MIke350)
yeah it's a real bummer they're only 8 in. :leaving: If I were to upgrade my wheels from the stock 16s, I'd have to stay in the Corvette family. While I'd really like some 11 inch ZR-1 wheels, they're probably way to expensive :crazy: I think I'd just settle on a set of vette sawblades; Are those 16 or 17 inch wheels?

Re: Those pesky 16 inch wheels. (Klimper)
they look like mustang wheels.
144 isn't bad.
i like their RWD wheel 175 a lot. 178 is neat too. I nfact, i think ill get 178 for my Tacoma.
I hate the damned center caps though... looks so white trash.

Re: Those pesky 16 inch wheels. (HG)
One thing I forgot to mention :sleep: Yes...they are a 16X8, but I run 255-50's (stock size) and they fit just fine. My stock wheels are only 16X8.5 so 1/2 inch is no biggie :thumbs:
