im thinking about selling my rims to get cash for some motor mods and i was wondering what i should ask for them. 17" black zr1 rims.

 

OEM or copies? Condition? With tires?

 

Width and offset would also affect price.

 

just sold a set of chrome ones 11 rears with tires for $800. tires were new, wheels were fairly new as well and mcguard stainless nuts

 

perfect condition. they are real. the ones in the back are like 12" wide and im not sure what the fornt ones are but they are a little smaller. w/o tires.

 

OEM Grand Sport factory black wheels are 17x9.5 56mm front and 17x11 50mm rear. The width is measured inside the flanges where the tire beads sit, not on the outside of the flanges. If they are genuine, original GM wheels, they are worth more than the aftermarket replicas. I'd say find out what the replicas are selling for, and look for $50-100/wheel more than that.

Might want to visit a couple of Corvette sites. The 96 Grand Sport owner who is looking for a replacement set of wheels is going to be willing to pay a lot more than your average F-Body owner.

 

aight thanx i found my exact rims

Then they aren't "real". Disregard the comments about added value and other attributes of OEM wheels.

 

I thought the oem vette wheels were 36MM offset in the rear. I dont know though.

 

Real ZR1 rear wheels are 36.5mm offset. They were silver. They were covered by the ZR1 rear fenders that were widened a couple inches on each side. The real 11" wide Grand Sport wheels were black, and had the 50mm offset, to move them deeper in the fenders. That was because the Grand Sport did not have the wider rear fenders, just a small plastic "eyebrow" on the fender lip to meet the minimum requirements for the tire to be inside the fender.

 

Sweet, i learn something new everyday. A guy used to bring his Grand Sport Vette into have work done on it all the time. That was a pretty car. It had those little eyebrow pieces on the fender. That car made me buy my wheels i have now. Thanks for that info!!

 

do you think 650ea. for those would be a good price? i got offered that yesturday. i was thinking a little more cause i just got brand new nitto 555r's on the back. with 3/y warranty.

 

$650 each? If so, that is way too high. If you have a sucker, I mean buyer to give you that price then sell them asap.

 

AFS sells a set of 4 black Grand Sport wheels (2 17x9.5/2 17x11) with Vredestein tires for $1,149. They do have a wider machined lip, and do not look as good as the OEWheels, IMHO.
