Quick search found this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183507926663
Rock auto can deliver inside a week comfortably to Germany and you can also have them pre pay the taxes etc. I have never had any issues so far, once shipping to Germany and once to Slovenia ?
I’m guessing you can’t just remove the air pump and get a shorter serpentine belt? That’s the solution people do here which has no effect on performance or fuel mileage as it dumps air in the cats because the solution to pollution is dilution!
I would have put a goddamn wheel stud in the mail for you, had you asked.Most shops just referred to them not having parts for the C4 Corvette, and would not be willing to search by size and thread alone - WTF? I hate it when people purely go by the car model or chassis number.
Thank you!
Now THAT is great. Thanks for that information!
Rockauto is great when you’re dealing with USDM grey market imports that don’t come up properly in our catalogs over here. Getting an OEM parts number usually helps a lot.
I would like to use this car as a chance to realise another dream, namingly getting perfectly sized and original BBS RS's for the Corvette. Well, if I can find them, that is.
They will look shit on the 'vette
I agree, the current wheels look awesome on the car, and I'm not convinved by the available option.
Also, if you're considering roadtripping it next year, I fully agree with lip - preventive maintenance and upkeep should be prioritized. You don't want a nasty surprise like the brake issue discovered at Ringmeet to strike somewhere in the middle of the Balkans, or wherever it is we'll be going.
Personally I would invest more into the technical upkeep of the car, and not in cosmetics like different wheels. It's a 89 Corvette so the car looks quirky and cool already as it is with the original wheels.
And in terms of Roadtrip - I will not be roadtripping this car on shitty roads. The roads in northrhine westphalia and hesse have already taken the car apart enough.
