I'm no expert on early C4's, but they look correct to me.  Thumbs Up

Wheels are right (correct). Almost had a fistfight at a tire shop over that one. That sort of thing stays in the memory even at my age!
 
With both styles of rear ends shown in the picture I still say I'm still partial to the earlier.

I actually prefer the earlier rear end, as well.  But, my husband prefers the later one, so there's something in the garage for each of us LOL.

Very nice looking.  The PO must have taken care of it.  According to the 1984 Corvette brochure, your wheels are on correct with the sawblades the correct angle.  See page 2 and 3:
 
It looks like about 1991 that the sawblades started pointing the other way.
 
Enjoy!

It's been interesting reading the discussion about the wheels.  I recognize right away when a later C4's saw blades are on backwards, but I hadn't thought these were.  However, not being an expert by any means, I figured I'd just see what came up, especially since I it wasn't something that would affect the driveability of the car.  Of course, I think they look puuurdy either way.  Wink
