Those are what are usually known as Y2K Corvette wheels (they first appeared on 2000 Corvettes)

Right on, I'm going to call and check out the pricing on a single 18",(but a very good deal on a set!) ill definitely order one at that pricing!....as for the car I don't think it's ever going to see the road again. I took the car by my buddy's body shop in town, he said about 6-8k worth of damage(if he did it). I picked it up for 1500, runs and drives, believe it or not! The kid I bought it from was driving that car on the highway EVERYDAY! I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a roller ls.....

Re: Need help identifying wheels

Before you buy just one wheel see if you can clean up the ones you have now. Having one new wheel will look out of place as well. Might be better off just buying a whole set.

Honestly I wouldn't bother with trying to fix that car. Judging from the one picture the extent of damage isn't worth trying to get rid of. Unless the rest of the car is perfect and low mileage the collector value of the car isn't there. Its already been totaled so that will always be on the title.

Keep your eye out for an LS car with a popped motor/trans that you can get cheap and combine the two cars. Take what you need and part out the rest of the salvageable parts..

The remaining 3 wheels/tires were about a week old when the wreck happened, they are perfect. I have also already decided to not fix the car, it IS fixable, and the title is CLEAN, was NOT turned into insurance. No salvage/rebuilt title, with 65k. I'm just going to strip it...sadly, and cam/head the lsx, and wait for a roller to surface.

Re: Need help identifying wheels

if you ever do decide on selling it I would be interested in the motor and some other stuff... but i hope you can get it back to the road for your sake.. I say though you got a NICE deal for $1500 for a z28 not bad.
