Taking a break from working on the Vette today. Instead working on getting these 5th gen rims mounted up to my 4th gen. Boy is this swap a pain!!!
Anyway, which looks better to you? |

I think I prefer the front ones, though I think I'd like them more if they were an inch smaller.

The newer wheel modernizes the look. To me the newer looks better. |

The interesting part about it is the front wheels OD us actually .15" smaller.
To say this was a PITA would be an understatement. I'm gonna put together a "tale if the tape" so you see how the OEM rear matches up against the fronts FYI, front is a 19" rear a 16" |

The car looks better with the 19" rim... but, I tend to believe that an 18" would look better overall.
One pothole, and those o-rings are blown and the rim bent. |

Here it is completed
i thought the same thing about pot holes too. I have never had a rim tire combo this low in profile but have been reading up about how there are reinforcements in the sidewall to help with it. I still drive around a little cautious but oh well. I'll definitely let you know if I pop a rubber band |

overall, I think the car looks better. those 16" rims look seriously dated!
I am sure it handles much sharper now, too. |

Sorry but I think the new rims are too big. IMHO.

The over sized rims took me some time to get used to also.

they look good, but as bogus mentioned.. I think the 18" would be about right
I even think the 19 on a C4 is too much.. my 18s seem about right though over the 17s |
