Default These are what I'm looking at

$3200 + delivery.
I know some have said yes and some have said no. These are used. Good price or not? New they are about 4k. I was quoted 4k for 18x12 ‘s and 17x9.5. These are 18x9.5 And 18x10.5
Besides Bobby and the Nitto's anyone looking for OE 17" Chrome ZR1's?

Mine are in good shape. Two wheels are perfect, One has a little rash the other even less. The rubber is still fairly new. GY f1 on the front and nitto rII's on the back. The nitto are $200/peice new and aftermarket oem zr1's are like $180/peice. f1's I wont even count a price for. $600 is what I'm thinking. The wheels when polished are really very nice. You cant see the rash unless you look. Bobby has seen them he could give a comment. I really havent burned the Nitto's(except for a nitrous run on the dyno) at all so they are in excellent shape for being used. They come with 6/32's, we could measure to see whats left. To buy the combo new it would cost you about 180x4=720, 200x2=400 plus mounting and balancing. Thats $1120 without the front tires, which I'm throwing in. They look new, were new when the nitto's were put on so they have no wear. These are my initial thoughts about it.

The ZR1's the Chris are selling are in nice used shape any imperfections you can't see unless you really look. I've never REALLY looked at them but just checking out the car the rims look good.

Too bad you weren't doing this a week ago I would have bought them. I just put new TTII's on the car and was thinking of ZR1's this would have made the decision easier.

I know, I thought about that as soon as I found the used ones. I figured you might go for them but you got the tt2's.
I dont like the tires I'll be getting but I can burn them off in a hurry to get my nittos. Unless someone wants the Michelins?

If they're OEM ZR1 17x11s I'll take em', but don't need the tires.

OK one last ponderance before I drop the coin.
The wheels I was going to order were the fm10's but then I saw the profil5s and put them on my likes list next to the 10's. I wanted an 11" in the rear and a 17" in the front. The 5s' that I'm looking at used are 18's front and back and are only 10.5 in the rear. For $3995 I can have a set of wheels made the way I want. But will then have to put rubber on. The front tires will be relatively inexpensive at 17"'s and the rears I already know will cost me $325/peice delivered. They need to be m+b bringing the cost up a little. The used wheels I'm looking at have like 500 miles on them and have tires already ( michelin pilot sports 265/35/ZR18 and 295/35/ZR18 . The car they came off had 1300 total miles on it. They will be about $3300 delivered and already have rubber. Not the rubber I want, but rubber none the less. Should I pull the trigger here or wait and order them. IF I order it will cost me an extra $1865. The tire I want to run is either a 305 or a 315.

OK decision made. NO GO!! Got the serial number from the guy selling the wheels. Then called Fikse and got the info on the wheels from them. They were built in Sep 2002, 18x9.5 and 18x11 full polish finish. +57 front +63 rear offsets and they are hub centric. Vettes and Camaros have different size hubs. They wont bolt directly on. I'd have to use 1/2 spacers and have them machined to fit. Not gonna do it.
