they can not be stock, all c5 vettes have staggered sizes. like my 2000 c5, the front are 17x8 or 8.5 i believe and 18x10.5 rear, so they have to be replicas

ok so i caleld the guy... he CLEARLY doesnt know what he has. but from the pics it looks like 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. has a small bend in the lip on one of the fronts but other than that they're pretty clean. comes with blank centercaps and hardware... all for $300...yall think its worth it?
