Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Custom?  Where are they coming from or where do you live?

Your gonna love the Torque Thrusters, Joanne.  I had the 8X17's on my 74 and thought they looked great.  Be sure to post some pictures.

You'll find a lot of custom wheels are made in China.  They just have American distributors.  Got to be careful on some brands as they're not made to DOT specs and are poor quality and not reliable.  I had American Racing wheels on mine for 8 years and they seemed to be fine.
