Since 1953 Corvette wheels have been running American roads. The car is a literal icon that represents much of what America has to be proud of over the years. The Corvette is more than a car. It represents American ingenuity, the country’s love for the sports car and cultural history. When seeing a Corvette cruising down the highway, a wave of nostalgia and appreciation for its sporty flair is the common reaction.

There is a reason why the young and old alike love the Corvette. It is a car that has managed to capture arrogance and performance into one design. Yes….arrogance is a good word to describe the Corvette because there is simply no other car like it. It is easily identifiable, sporty, classy, high performing and great looking all at the same time.

When you own a Corvette, you have a road handling machine that easily gobbles up the miles. You want Corvette wheels that can support the car’s performance while also enhancing its look. Only certain wheels will work on a Corvette, because like the car itself, unique styling is what the car’s exterior design is all about. Low to the ground and sleek, the Corvette promises an adventure that its driver anticipates with glee.

The Corvette is such an American icon that there is a whole museum dedicated just to this car. One of the most amazing things about this car is the fact that a driver of any age looks great behind the wheel. The sporty styling fits the young and the young at heart. Choosing the right Corvette wheels is important, because you want the wheels to only improve on the styling and the performance. Once the wheels are on the car there should be no doubt they belong exactly where they are - mounted on an icon!

Corvette wheels are made in a variety of styles. There are wheels which recreate the classic wheels of older models, and there are wheels which enhance the classic styling. You can choose black, chrome or hyper-silver wheels. You can also select from among a number of wheel designs including the mesh and split spoke styles.

You will also find the traditional 5 spoke star style wheel which carries on a long tradition. The various wheel designs enable you to choose the width and tire profile. Many people believe that the more wheel that shows as opposed to the tire, the better the car looks overall. It is really a matter of preference, because all of the Corvette wheels are beautiful and practical.

The wheel affects many performance features of the car. The wheel impacts the tire tread life, speed, braking system, steering and the handling in various types of weather. When choosing a Corvette wheel you want to keep in mind your performance goals and the appearance. As mentioned the wheel size affects the tire size which in turn affects the appearance of the car. Increasing wheel size can increase performance when matched with the right tires. But no matter which styling of Corvette wheels you choose, you are assured of getting state-of-the art materials applied to great looking designs.

When you are ready to purchase Corvette wheels, it is possible to save a lot of money by taking advantage of discount pricing. There is no reason to pay full price. You can pick any style that enhances your Corvette’s performance, flair and arrogance! If you are going to own an American icon, it only makes sense to add wheels that continue the tradition. The right wheels can only make the Corvette a better performer, if that is at all possible.

Where can I get a 2008 Corvette dealer brochure? The dealers in my area don’t have them and I really don’t want to pay $20 for one from the scalpers on eBay. Anyone know where to get one?

I am looking to buy a 1989 Corvette with an Auto tranny. I want to know if I would be able to drag race the car OK. I am not looking to make it an everyday thing, but I would like to do it a few times. Also, I know that the 5-speeds made before 89 where known to have issues. How are the Auto transmissions in an 89 Vette? Thank you!

I have a 76 Corvette, and on the body there is a key hole where the stingray emblem is, which is right above the driver side front tire. I noticed it and wondered what it was for. Design or something else. Any crazy help would be cool.

Gregg Hall asked:


Harley Earl was an automobile design expert at Chevrolet who noticed the influx of small European sports cars into the United States after World War II. He knew there was a market for a two-seat roadster and convinced Chevrolet to introduce their own version: The Chevrolet Corvette.
In 1953, the first Corvette’s were unveiled. The cars were unique in their construction. Instead of the steel bodies common for the time, the Corvette was actually built from a much lighter material—fiberglass. This innovation, combined with its Earl-designed appearance, however, was still not enough to make the car an overnight success.
At the time, Chevrolet was known for producing inexpensive, but unexciting vehicles. The Corvette, despite its sex styling and innovative construction was “just another Chevy” at heart, and lacked the performance sports car enthusiasts craved. The original Corvettes featured a less-that-impressive V6, a two-speed automatic transmission, and a brake system taken directly from the regular Chevy line. In essence, the original Corvette was a sports car in appearance alone. Sales lagged and there was even talk of discontinuing Earl’s pet project after a few years.
Sales were simply too low. Although the fiberglass design wowed potential buyers and critics within the sports car industry and the appearance of the Corvette was beyond reproach, the car simply lacked the kind of performance those searching for a true sports car expected to find.
Then came Zora Arkus-Duntov, the Russian émigré and engineer who found a home at Chevrolet, and a project in the Corvette. In 1955, Chevrolet introduced its first V8 engine. Arkus-Duntov redesigned the V8 especially for the Corvette and placed the bigger, more powerful motor into the small-bodied car. He also replaced the old two-speed “powerglide” automatic with a 3-speed manual transmission. Suddenly the Corvette was no longer just a pretty face. The Corvette became a legitimate competitor for the other major U.S. sports car, Ford’s Thunderbird, and its popularity soared dramatically. Arkus-Duntov is often considered the father of the Corvette due to his line-saving alterations.
Over fifty years later, Corvette remains a leading name is sports cars and is currently offering its sixth generation of products, including a rumored high performance model known as the Blue Demon.
The Corvette is now known as the “poor man’s super car” and is noted for its relative affordability and impressive reliability records.
But before there was a Blue Demon, a Z06, or any of the Corvette C classes that sports car enthusiasts love today, there was Harley Earl and a cute design with a V6 they called the Corvette. Chevrolet embraced the idea of a truly American sports car, and with the help of a Russian émigré, built one of the most popular and lasting sports car labels in the world.
