Re: wheels 84

mike, how cool is that. do you still have the car?

Nope...long gone...since about 1988.

17K wow...yours sounds like a nice car. It's just too bad the 84 was so underpowered. I think thats why you see very few original cars. C4 prices are certainly low right now. You can even find a nice ZR-1 in the $20K which which seems like a real value in the long haul.

In Indiana near South Bend here...We are getting some snow too.

The original wheel part numbers are as follows:

GM #14069517-----front, left side, 16 X 8.5, stamped DY

GM #14069518-----front, right side, 16 X 8.5, stamped DZ

GM #14069519-----rear, left side, 16 X 9.5, stamped FJ

GM #14069520-----rear, right side, 16 X 9.5, stamped FK

Curiously, the parts information strongly implies that 8.5" front wheels and 9.5" rear wheels were used on all 1984's. Of course, if 8.5" were used on the rear, they would be the same as the front left and right wheels.
