Post Pics of your NON vette wheels please

Hey guys,

Before I make my purchase, I'd like to see some pics of aftermarket NON vette wheels.

I am having a hard time searching about 4th gen with non vette wheels.

I like vette wheels, but trouble is one of my friends has Zr1 wheels, the other Z06 wheels, now found out one more has C6 wheels and another guy a set of C6 Z06 (was gonna get those) rims on order. Its said that every F-body I know has vette wheels. I'd like to be different.

But I still want 17 or 19x9.5 or 10" wide wheels with the right fit.

Any pics of any aftermarket wheels, or at least names of good fitting aftermarket wheels. I kinda like the 5 star look.

Thanks guys,

Igor.

xxsaint69x,

Those Fiske's look good. What offset/fitment issues/tires are you running?

Any idea on where is a good place to buy them?

Thanks,

Igor.

P.S. Its not that I don't like the vette wheels, its that all my friends have them. I would also like to go 11" wide if possible in the rear.

Any others aside from the Fiske?

THanks

I can't even find who sells them. I'm assuming very expensive, but I think very light/strong.

My NON-VETTE wheels.
Excuse the lack of decent photo composition. These were just snap shots to post. Haven't seen these on any other F-body yet.

Couple of close ups.




On the car.

Yes they are! very very very expensive that is... atleast to me. I think round 2500-3k for a set of rims?

If you like that look. The Sportmax 962 is close. If it wasn't for the center of the wheel I'd be rolling on them.

Then there is the ARE Rebel (669), but they only come i chrome or black center.

bump for this, I also dont want to be on the bandwagon of OEM rims. They do look really nice but everyone and their brother has them. I bought the car with some konigs on it, need them off now, lol. I want the AR rebels but the 17's have a offset of 24mm

Re: Post Pics of your NON vette wheels please

I really like the ADRs but wish they came wider. Is 8.5 as wide as they come?

Thanks.
