Took my sons out treasure hunting this weekend. We were looking for a set of factory rally wheels for the 15 year old 82 F100.  Got those (looking for center caps!) and found these C4 Corvette wheels and tires for a very GRM friendly price. So what to put them on? Thinking 80's 9C1, Monte Carlos , S10... What do you think?

The answer here is B-body wagon of course.

Wrong generation of B-body, in my opinion:

Actually, now that I look at the wheels on the bubble B, and on the wheels on the square B  a swap would be in order.  The wheels on the white wagon are from a 90+ C4, and the wheels on the bubble B are from an earlier C4, 

I think the ones on my C4 were directional . . . with a left and a right side.

I was fortunate enough to own Syclone #327 ten or more years ago. Have always wanted to do an AWD turbo V8.

I'm trying to figure out if that picture is real, but that looks much better than it has any right to look.

I wouldn't say they're popular with the Sonic guys but there are a few using them, usually a set or two for sale in the classifieds and I think they look pretty good for a rim I really don't like on anything else. I'd like to see them on a sedan which I think is much better looking than the hatch.

How about adapters and your 82 F150? 2 birds with one stone.

The 15 year old is a Ford man. The 12 year old is a Chevy guy.        There has been some discussion about this. The Ford man wants Shelby wheels....

I’m convinced sawblades look good on everything but C4 corvettes.
