Default Real Grand Sport rims and tires for $250!

i was checking out craigslist and i cam across the deal of a century. i found a set of OEM Corvette Grand Sport rims with tires in perfect condition for $250. i went to go see them and they were amazing so i bought them, and i replaced my all black c5 ZO6 rims for them! i just threw them on, i havent even cleaned them or put air in the tires so dont laugh at the sag...they were in this guys garage collegting dust for a few years, and he didnt even know what kind of rims they were...wel here are some pics!

Are you sure those are OEM wheels? The rears look like replicas, because Grand Sports have the deep lugnut area and no lip.

Regardless, nice find and looks good.

they arent replicas they have the casting numbers in them from the 96 grand sport...and they are unbeleivably light. the rears are lighter than my zo6 fronts...the z6's are for sale $1000 shipped right now with tires

and the car has been down for a few weeks doing a custom stand alone, all new nitrous kit and heads and cam all at once so the poor girl has been sitting for about 3 weeks

I'm almost positive those are replicas. Not the best picture, but the real ones have black center caps and the offset in the rear is different.
