Have a bloke on the search for a RHS 9.5 wide wheel. Hopefully will have a square set if my luck changes for me.

Tried 2 Corvette garages, eBay, Amazon, Gumtree, Import Monster.

Can't find 1 single LHS 16x8.5 Corvette wheel.

IMAD.

Problem is I've already got really good condition cap head hex bolts that will clean up real nice, don't really want to go to the expense of buying gold hardware, even though it would look nice. Wheels are welded too so it's a bit of a waste. Might just buy some black wheel nuts and see how that goes.

sexy had to sit back and admire for a bit i think the polished star will stand out, some gold/black hardware/ nuts would look good too

Finally put some colour down on the 7.5s. Not sure if I like it more than the black on my other rims yet. I'm hoping that when they're on the car you'll be able to tell the difference between the silver and polished sections better. Can you even tell that the star outline is polished from the pics? Maybe because I've got them facing the sky, when they're on the car the polished bits should reflect some darker colours off the road (hopefully).



I'm thinking I need something to break them up a bit, maybe black or gold wheel nuts?

Correct 👍 Sent an email to a place looking for either a LHS 8.5 or a RHS 9.5

So it'll end being either a staggered or square set up.

Spados. Remember they're directional for your extra wheel you need to get!

So I've got the Corvette wheels. Sweet.
Bring them to work, inspect them... got three 9.5 wheels and one 8.5 😐

Rang the guy and said what's the go? He swore there were two of each size. He reckons he's gonna get back to me cause he knows someone with more vette wheels. But he won't cause people are fucked. I should of looked at them better when I was there. (dumbcuntaye)

So now I need either one 8.5 or a 9.5 to have a staggered or square set.

go for one of each, have squared set and staggered

Don't. **** polishing around bolts that's why I go front mount mostly.
Or sell Shit as soon as I've run it once so I never have to polish again.

That sucks about the single one wheel

[foffa]

fark

[hakhawk]

that sucks, possibly why he sold them off?

decided to give the wheel lips a polish while i was rotating them today, they needed it. havent done anything bar a wipe down since putting them on.

how do you guys do around the bolt heads?

[Spados.]

First 3 are 9.5, last one is 8.5.
