You can make them fit if you're willing to spend TONS of money customizing your hubs... hehe. Anything is possible when $ is present.


Suck, squish, bang, blow... muahahahaha!!

Eagle Alloys are pretty close.. depending what spoke style you want there is two options..
Unless your talking about the Z06 wheels... they are alittle different.. But here is a couple wheels that are sort of close to the 5 spoke style vette wheel..

Eagle Alloy 168 - 18x9, + 23mm offset, 5x4.5 which isn't your bolt pattern but eibach makes adapters to fix this problem.. if you really like these



Or
Eagle 077 - 18x8, +43mm offset, also not availble for 5x100 bolt pattern same as above..

Thats all I could find in that style.... They make replica wheels that look like vette wheels.. but they are too wide for your application... Although I'm not sure why you would want vette wheels on your car... however... YOUR car.. If you look hard enough at aftermarket wheels I am sure there is goin to be something CLOSE to the same design that you are lookin for... Thats the best i could do.

as far as i know, vette rims were either 17 up front and 18 rear, or 18 front and 19 rear.

^^ I was thinkin that today I believe the few I have worked on are 17 and 18 front and rear respectively.

As far as I can remember from the ones I worked on anyways, at least C5's anyways
