WTB 17' C4 Wheels for my 1986 Coupe with Z51

Vette(s): 1975 Coupe, 350ci, auto trans, dark red metallic, also owned a 1985, Gold, 4 speed, purchased new and traded in 1993. Recently Purchased a 1986 in Medium Brown Metallic.

Since I can't find 255 50 16 tires for my car, I want to find four 17" wheels that will bolt up on a 1986 Coupe. Want 9-9.5 inch width. If you have 4 wheels or know someone that does, I would like to see what is available. I am in Charleston SC but would pay shipping if I buy the wheels. If within 400 miles I might pick them up.

Thanks,

Scott

Vette(s): 1990 C4 convertible Polo green/tan interior&top
1991 C4 ZR-1 red/tan
2020 C8 coupe Rapid blue/silver stripe/red interior

Try FB, I was successful in finding a very good set for my ‘90 ZR-1. Although they were  a few states away the seller used Fastenal for shipping costing me $190. Also eBay has many wheels for C4’s. Good luck!

I've just decided to sell a set of C5 OEM thinspoke wheels (17"x8.5).  These have nearly new Michelin AS4s on two wheels and good Continental Extreme contact on the other two.  I'm selling them for $800, but I'm in the Washington DC area, so it's a long way from South Carolina.  Lots of people put these on C4s to modernize the looks.  Here's a pic of them so that you can see if they might give you a look for your C4 that you might like.

Good luck in your search!
