Default I did it again!!!

Today I had the most incredible luck,in my last thread I introduced myself here and told everyone I was stoked about buying my ls1 and how I was looking for wheels etc.Well today I was driving along the road and I saw a junker c4 vett in a abandoned workshop it was a 1988 or something and first thing I noticed was that the wheels were wrong for that shape,then on closer inspection I saw they were chrome ZR1 rims!! I spun around in my wifes corolla and jumped out of the car for a closer look and sure enough Bridgestone Potenzas or something just as good in 315s on the back and 275s on the front with heaps of tread. So I went looking for the owner of the place found the guy offered him 20,000yen for them and he said " Take them away and sorry you have rechrome one of them" I said "its ok can I pick them up wednesday"and he replied"great we are closed tomorrow any way".
How lucky was that boys $150.00us bucks LMFAO.Original ZR1 wheels off a ZR1 at some stage"not replicas" rear in the states I guess? Rear as rocking horse s%!t here.
