C3 Corvettes came with factory steel wheels from 1968-1982. Aluminum wheels were optional from 1976-1982. This one was factory on 1978 Indy Pace Cars only. 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 time. In reality, refinishing them can easily cost you more than buying a new set. The solution is to start fresh with Eckler’s show quality 15"x8" reproduction wheel. This 15"x8" wheel is constructed of one piece cast aluminum. Like the factory wheel, this wheel accepts O.E. valve stems, center caps & emblems, and lug nuts (not included and available separately). Trust Eckler's Corvette for all your 1968-1982 Corvette restoration and performance part accessory needs!
1978 Corvette polished aluminum wheels add sparkle and shine to faded damaged wheels
