Pick it up next week

Do I leave the BBS on with 255/50/16s or go with the ZR-1 Prototypes...275 fronts 315 backs....

You want a slightly used 90 to match that #702 block?

Not missing too much, except just about everything!

My first 'vette was an '87 in that dark metallic red. It was tons of fun. But I saw an '87 B2K at Carlisle one year when I had it, and it made my car seem so uninteresting by comparison. It looked just like mine, except with those two NACA ducts on the hood. The way they suggested at turbo-boosted power seemed so awesome.

Cool car, and nice score on it. For the wheels, I'm guessing tires will be the decider, whether you like the BBS's or not. 255/50-16's are becoming quite hard to find. And if they are 9.5" wide, a 245/50 would be a kind of dangerous fit. Dymags were not standard on '87s, they had regular wheels generally. The Dymags that were optional were a) 16", b) really rare, and c) fairly unattractive.

I have to say, the NACA ducts that seemed so cool back then don't really stand the test of time. But I'm sure it'll be fun.

Lee, I know where there are some 16" Dymags.

LGAFF · 08-02-2011

Let me know Brett! Sure the wife would love for me to buy them

LGAFF · 08-02-2011

BBS 16X9.5
or Prototypes 17X11

You're killing me...........

I think I like the sawblades. In their days, the BBS WHEELS were nice but the aesthetic today is for a much fuller wheel face not something narrowed,
IMO.
