1992 Corvette Convertible

WAGON WHEELS AGAIN

I got the 1998 Styled Wagon Wheels home and into the Manetarium. The rims themselves are in very good shape with very little blemishes. This is in contrast to the clear coat peeled Saw Blade wheels currently installed in the Vette.

The saw blades front tires look huge. These are P275/40R17 sizes, it’s know wonder that the power steering pump hasn’t already given out. It’s the exact same wheel size as the rear setup.

The wheels I bought are from a 1998 Corvette. The wheels are 18” rear and 17” up front. It came with all the lugs nuts and 4 center cap pieces. I already found a replacement for one of the damaged center piece.

For archival and technical data history these are the specs on the tires:

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500
Front = 245/45R17 99W
Rear = 275/40R18 99W

Wagon Wheel wait

I’m waiting for the seller of the 1998 Corvette Wagon Wheels. As usual I’m hell of early and the seller calls me up to let me know he’s running late. Great.

Waiting in Vacaville CA.

I can’t even recall how many times I’ve waited for sellers or traders. I don’t think I’ve ever gone to meetup and be the person later.

After a short wait the seller called me up to let me know he was home. The wheels were as expected. Actually in better shape than I hoped. These wheels came off a 1998 C4 that the owner replaced with a different style.

For whatever reason this particular style gets no love from the C5 owners. They seem to dog the shit out of it due to the resemblance of a stagecoach wagon wheel.
