Rims / Tires for my 1969 Corvette

200S's. That would nail the look, at the time, for a Corvette. The only thing that would make it better is some OLD school first design BFG's.

They are pretty cool; rims are very hard to decide on.

How about some vintage Torq's? Maybe some red line tires or RWL Polyglas?

I strongly recommend 15" wheels on whatever you do. They are a classic, while the 17 will certainly date the car to the present style and taste.

I am so sick of Torque Thrusts(especially polished), but I gotta say a set of American Racing 200S's(or "Daisys") would be the ultimate.

I think I am going to go with the rims shown here

and may just go with some BFG Radial T/A's with the letters turned in. I prefer these rims to the Torque Thrusts due to the fact that these rims have a polished outer rim. I really don't like the full polished Torque Thrusts.

They are the style I mean Dave. I don't like the full polished wheels either. Those are nice and so are the TTO's.

Dave,

An old teacher of mine once gave me an original photo of her brother's '69 fathom green bbc Corvette. It was a coupe with side pipes, raised white letters and slots. I think you'll really like the look. I'll have sometime tonight to post it for you.

I think the 200's look great on a 'Vette! It has a timeless look and will never be out of style.

I would rather buy an old set of these than anything new.

Not to get off the subject but, do you have any more information on that Riverside Gold L88? When I was younger there was a guy who would come down every summer who had a similar car. He was from Maryland and I always thought the car was just a 427 'Vette with an L88 sticker on the hood. I thought that because he also had a '73 455 Trans Am that he added SD-455 decals to the scoop.

I just pulled the pic form a quick search for "Otis Chandler corvettes" but don't know anything about it.
