Once we realized the Rally wheels on our Corvette were not going to secure the original hub caps, we started looking around for something else.
Original, correct, date-coded steel wheels were selling on Facebook Marketplace and eBay for $800-1200. This seemed a bit egregious, considering they were not all that and would still need our hubcaps that weren’t that great looking, …
Wheels look great Here's a 65 from back in the day, when Corvettes had trailer hitches.
My vote would have been for turbine mags as exhibited on the metallic light blue Split-Window that Seinfeld drove to the White House, and that Obama drove in the driveway. Very classy, but then it is all a matter of personal taste!
Oh and by the way, perhaps I am a little biased in that I still have a set of Turbines that I took off my late '60s long wheel base Chevy Van, prior to selling.
Please don't put anything modern on them. Pretty much ruins the car. Although a vintage style in a +1 or +2 size sometimes works. I would stick with something period correct though not necessarily something that's been done a million times before.
Just a few more examples of how good Minilites look on everything! The last picture IMO has the perfect stance, wheel combo and of course sidepipes FTW!!!!!
I was going to say Torq-Thrusts even before I opened the story.

The stance on the dark blue car is nearly perfect. Yes, Minilite all things!
