Zip’s new reproduction 17″ C4 Corvette Wheel Center Caps are a must-have for anyone working to restore a 1988-1989 Corvette to its original factory condition.

Manufactured from original GM castings, these center caps are machined to replicate the factory finish and then clear coated to protect the finish from harmful road elements. With today’s updated clear coat technologies, these C4 Corvette center caps will last much longer than your Corvette’s originals. Each cap includes the correct locating pins on the rear and o-ring mounting seal.

These Corvette Parts are also available in chrome, to match the chrome plated 17″ wheels, or painted white, to replicate the correct factory finish. Available with or without GM licensed emblem. The 1988-1989 Wheel Center Cap Emblem can be purchased separately.

Zip also has new reproduction 1988-1989 Corvette Center Cap Lock Kits to complete the wheel installation. Lock kits include chrome plated bolt with lock type head for holding the aluminum center cap or lug nut cover onto the 17″ factory wheel. The bolts are often torn up due to use or not used at all since the tool can often be lost over time. New replacements have not been available until now. The new reproduction kit includes (4) bolts and the locking tool which is also used to help remove the center cap from the wheel.

1969-1974 Corvette Reproduction Jack for C3
1969-1974 Corvette Reproduction Jack for C3

Finally! A correct Reproduction Jack for 1969-1974 C3 Corvettes. For years, the only thing available for your younger C3 was GM’s replacement jack for the 1975-1982 models. But that jack had a larger footprint and did not fit into the 1969-1974 as well as the original. Using Corvette Parts that are not designed specifically for your car can cause unnecessary headaches – and make the job last longer than needed. This new reproduction jack will fit correctly – and easily – and will look great. Plus, it doesn’t come with the GM pricetag, making this correct reproduction easier on the wallet too.

Corvette Grand Sport Reproduction Wheels for C5 & C6

Corvette Grand Sport Wheels
Corvette GS Wheels

It never fails. When GM introduces a new wheel style on a Corvette, some Corvette owners want to upgrade their Corvette with the new style wheel, but with a different finish.

When GM gave us a stunning, new five-spoke wheel design on the Corvette Grand Sports for 2010, some of the base C5 and C6 owners liked the wheel style and some of the Grand Sport owners who already had the wheels, wanted them either chromed or black powder-coated.

Zip Products has the C6 Corvette Grand Sport Reproduction Wheels you need so you can update your C5 or C6 with dramatic, GS, five-spoke style. They are available in three configurations: 1) 18×8.5″ front and 19×10″ rear with proper offsets to fit any base model C6 without fender flares, 2) 18×8.5″ front and 19×12″ rear with proper offsets to fit C6 Z06 Corvettes and Grand Sports and 3) 17×8.5″ front and 18×9.5″ rear with proper offsets to fit 1997-2004 C5 Corvettes without the Z06 option.

These Corvette wheels are all made of cast aluminum and are available in three finishes: brilliant triple chrome plating, dramatic gloss-black powder-coating and a snazzy-looking “two-tone” wheel which has a black powder coated rim and a machined aluminum center.

All of Zip Products Grand Sport reproduction Corvette wheels accept the stock tire pressure monitoring system sensors. They come with the appropriate center cap, either chrome, black or machined aluminum. Chrome lug nuts and center cap decals are sold separately and are listed in Zip’s 1997-2004 C5 Corvette Wheel Accessories and C6 Corvette Wheel Accessories sections.

Now all you need to do is order a set and bolt them on.
