1991 Rim WTB

[Dave91TM]

As luck would have it, I am buying new tires , only to find, the rear rims bent.
Had one straightened and refinished, but the other is pooched, so I am looking for one Right side, 1991 "Sawblade" 17x9.5 Rim. It has to be from 1991 because the rim is painted with a machined edge, later rims were machine faced.

Thanks

I'll keep an eye out!

Thanks Riley, however I found Midwest Wheel and Tire, in Michigan
has them, and a slew of other wheels. Its strange that the big suppliers
(Ecklers, Mid America etc.) don't supply the sawblades painted , only chromed.
Midwest has painted and machine finish, so if anyone else is looking, just google
them.

Cool! Very good to know! Glad you found them.

And just so ya know: 3 rims ,straightened and refinished by Carcones,
423.75 w HST, plus 1 replaced rim from Midwest 314.99 (incl rim +shipping + broker fees + HST) total for all 738.74. Still less than new rims and I could add another 120 for 4 new centers w/emblems, but I'm not rich so I repainted
them and the lug nut covers for 20.00. Now I can go buy rubber.

Not complaining, just letting ya know, after all, spending on your Corvette
is simply a must do thing.

HA! I like the line about spending on the Corvette. That is a must do item for me as well as I am in line to get some work done "locally" next Monday. We would love to see some pics once the rubber gets mounted!
