I agree, the wheels are awful. The rest of the car is quite stunning and to me a work of art. And they may not have actually "ruined another classic". Often times, such a car will start as a totaled wreck sitting in a salvage yard for who knows how long. The frame is likely not the original, and chances are most of the body work isn't either. This may also have started life as a newer Corvette, such as a C5, and the body merely molded from C2 parts. To state that a classic was ruined without knowing the history of the car and its build is a disservice to all of those involved.
