you did ask but I almost hesitate to reply.... BUT think the original C4 wheels need updating. I know this is not what my friends with C4s will say, or probably any other C4 owner either.
in the end it's YOUR car and YOUR money.

Ya I'm not crazy about the looks of the original C4 wheels, but it all depends how YOU want your car to appear. I went with black wheels on my ZO6 cause there happens to be a identical car in the same small city I live in so I wanted mine to look different.
Agreed, the C4 looks good with newer wheels. The body looks pretty close to newer bodies and the wheels bring the entire car right up do date. Go with new!
On the other hand if you are staying with the original look I highly suggest taking the route that Brian did and take them to Wheel Wizards to be spruced up, they did an outstanding job.
I myself love the original salad shooters on mine but the newer wheels look good. Car needs to be lowered a touch to finish it.
Hey Ranman. I guess I just have to chime in here.
As my friend Wayne has alluded to, I am a bit of a purist. However with that said, the early stock turbines on the 84 to 87 cars are not my favorites at all. When the salad shooters was introduced in 88 the wheels started getting better.
As for your new wheels, they look just great. The picture is not as good as I would like to see, but they kind of look like the Zr1 wheels from the later C4 generation. In my Opinion; I would keep them and put away the 16" stock rims for anyone that might be looking to buy your car in the future.
As Wayne also said. Wheel Wizards in Hamilton did a very good job on refinishing my 88 salad shooters. Here is a picture.

I still like my '94 C4 turbine wheels more than any of the others I've seen, especially in chrome.:
Wayne -- I found this on another forum that shall go un-named:
84-87= "Turbines"
88 16" base wheel= "Razors"
88-90= "Salad Shooters" or "Quisenarts"
88 "35th Anniversary Edition"
88-91 "Dymags" (Available on Callaway Edition)
91-92= "Sawblades" (painted)
93-96= "Sawblades" (machine-faced)
94-96= "ZR-1s" or "A-molds" or "5-Spoke"
96 only= black "GrandSports"
Funny, when it comes to C3s, I think the Ralleye rims look the nicest, but still think aftermarket is the way to go on C4s.
I loved the list of names, thanks for that Colin et al.
