    Here's a couple circa 1963 Catalog Ads for the LeMANS wheels:

    Here's my 4"x15" American Racing LeMANS magnesium wheels (with 40+ years of oxidation :eek:):

    NOTE: I plan run them on the "HEMI32" coupe again.

    I had a 57 when I was 18 to 21, factory two four's, 4 speed. black silver coves and red interior, hardtop had black vinyl on it. Was fast as hell ran out of RPN's at 100 mph with a 4:11 rear end. Surprised I never killed myself in that car with skinny tires it got pretty loose at times. Great memories though.

    Well, since this has turned into mostly a Lemans thread I'll try to tie it back into old Corvettes.
    Here's the Lemans fronts that are patiently waiting to be put on my 61 Corvette once it gets it's turn in the shop. I don't have any wide Lemans for the rear so I'll just have to settle on using some 4 hole Palamedes out back.
