Damn son! what are you trying to say here? Are you asking us if you think it seems high? hmmm, yes you seem to think thats a little high. Are they knock offs or OEM? Used knockoffs without wheels should be in the 400-500 range.. Atleast thats what you would think...

Not sure if they are knockoffs or OEM, was just curious of the general consesus was if that was a fair asking price or not?

I got an email back and found out that they are OEM, would that increase the value or lessen it.

They are only a good deal if they will fit on your car. Z06 wheels have huge offsets, that may require spacers. Are they C5 or C6 Z06 wheels? That makes a difference.

Thanks for the question man, they are Z06 Rims the "10 spoke type" if you know what i mean. I have a 94 Z28 and currently running a 315/35/R17 in the rear on Torq Thursts. The tire size listed on the Z06 rims is 305/35/R18's in the rear so i am not to worried about the width as much as the height, would i have to roll the inner lip of my rear fender well? The front tires are 275/40/R17 those should fit fine i hope?

That isn't a good deal if you are only buying the rims. I would think that cutting the wheel out of the rim would ruin them anyways.

Hes not talking about tire or wheel size hes saying check the Back Spacing. IIRC the rear wheels on the vettes had a deep 58mm backspacing and the fronts where 54mm. I think those numbers are right. I think to fix it you would have to run a 1 or1.25" spacer/adapter or cut off your bump stop and beat in the wheel well. I could be wrong but I remember it being something like that... jsut do a quick search and youll see what im talking about...
