I've decided to get wider wheels. It's a bitch to find negative offset wheels. Cost wise I'm looking at Hopster or Torq Thrust again for bolt on. Maybe 20s in the rear, 18s up front?

If I do the adapter thing again... there's a world of options.

I love the look of 5 star centerline wheels, but would never pay $700 a wheel. Thinking about going with some Cobra wheels.

BMW wheels are maybe an option too. Apparently the bolt pattern is 65/100 of a mm off, and lots of guys run them. I'd hate to do something to cause the studs to lean in and snap, but I sort of wonder if acceptable deviation is more than that anyways. M4 wheels are rad and deep already.

My head is spinning. It's like I'm in 7-11.

Here's a C3 with 18s up front, 20s out back.

Still love the TTIIs w/side pipes. That's the classic winner.

I need 11" rims for the back, and the TTIIs only come in 20x10 or 12.

I saw the Cobra Vette, and expected this....

While I appreciate the craft, those design aesthetics don't really play nice together.

I'm not positive, but I *think* you might be able to get 12"under the back with Guldstrand's 5-link and maybe a little flare. I'm going to do the 5-link someday.

Check with American Racing Wheels for the TTIIs. You may be able to get some custom wheels made at a reasonable price. I know I had some made a few years ago with custom backspacing and it was very reasonably priced.
