For Us Wheel Guys: 53 First-Generation Corvettes With Aftermarket Wheels

Ever since I slapped hubcaps, 13 inches of BBS knock-off glory, on my first car, I’ve been addicted to upgrading from the stock look. Never mind that these hubcaps were on a 1980 Rabbit; they were awesome–well, to me at the time! And ever since then, despite how much I liked the stock wheels, I have always been compelled to switch them out for the trendiest wheel at the time.

Enthusiasts on a popular Corvette Forum were asked in July of 2017 to show what aftermarket wheels they put on their first-generation Corvette, and seven years later, wheel guys are still adding their classic C1s to the discussion. Here is your chance to see years and years of pictures in less than 10 minutes! Sit back like I did and enjoy the eye candy! I’ve included any wheel info (if provided) in the captions under the photos, as well as the Corvette Forum’s username of the owner.
