C3 Corvettes came with factory steel wheels from 1968-1982. Aluminum wheels were optional from 1976-1982. Over time, your factory 15"x8" Corvette wheels are subject to wear and tear from curbs, driving, and the elements. As a result, your clear coat can discolor, stain, flake off and your wheels can become scratched and pitted. You could have them professionally refinished but doing it right is expensive and takes a lot of down time. In reality, refinishing them can easily cost you more than buying a new set. The solution is to start fresh with Eckler's high quality 15"x8" reproduction wheel set. This 15"x8" wheel set is constructed of one piece cast aluminum and features a new advanced wheel finish called PVD chrome. PVD Chrome is superior to traditional chrome plating because it won't crack or peel, its proven durable in all climates, it's easy to clean, and it's environmentally friendly. Like the factory wheel, this wheel set accepts O.E. valve stems, center caps & emblems, and lug nuts (not included and available separately). Trust Eckler's Corvette for all your 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 Corvette restoration and performance part accessory needs!
