I have O.E.M. wheels with Kumho tires that came on it. They will need to be replaced this summer. Not sure what to use.

Vette(s): 1973 Mille Miglia Red LS5 1981 Claret Red 1982 White 1985 Silver Metallic 1988 Yellow 1993 Torch Red ZR-1 1994 Torch Red Coupe LT1 1996 Dark Purple Metallic LT4 2000 Torch Red 2001 Light Pewter 2003 Z06 Millennium Yellow 2009 Atomic Orange

 

'96 LT4. Wheels are repro C6 wheels, 17x9.5 all around. Continental Extreme Contact tires, 275-40 in front and 285-40 on the rear. Wheels are powdercoated Hyper Silver, not a fan of chrome on Corvettes. I like the A-mold wheels but there's so many out there. I wanted something a little different, plus I like the 5-spokes...easier to clean.

Vette(s): Bought my Vette!šŸ‘šŸ˜Ž

I believe you first have to decide if you want to stay OEM or go after market where you have thousands of choices.   Does make it difficult, stay classic or go spicy?

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

For instance the 1990 “salad shooters” are unique. The ZR-1’s rear 17X11 were only available in 1990. Extremely hard to find and I think they are a work of art and a masterpiece. All four corners fit there and that’s it.
