In 1968 the Corvette Rally Wheel changed from 15″ x 6″ to 15″ x 7″. Other than the size there were no appearance changes from the 1967 Corvette Rally Wheel, which you can read more about here. Once again in 1969 Chevrolet changed the wheel size, this time to 15″ x 8″, which it would remain at for the rest of the ’68-82 generation.

  1. Gary,
    What is considered later model? None will have the correct offset, but depending on which wheel and the availablilty of a particular adapter we should be able to get a late model wheel on a 1979 Corvette.

  2. Where may I purchase the center emblem for a 1982 Corvette Collector Edition wheel? I am not looking for the cone but just the emblem with the two threaded studs on the back?

  3. Van,
    To our knowledge the center cap Corvette Emblems are not available by themselves. You may be able to find them used but we only offer them with the center caps.
