Default Ordered some OE's!

Finally was able to order up some C6 Z06 17x9.5's for my 98 T/A. Went with the black with chrome lip for my black T/A.... Wrapping them in Nitto NT555 275/40/17 fronts, 285/40/17 rears. Pretty stoked and will try to get some pics posted up in OEWheels thread once they arrive.

Anyways, on estimate what would my factory 16x8 chrome wheels be worth? I cant get pics this late so will try tomorrow before work but the tires have great tread left but are dry cracked decently since they have been on there for about 3 years and less than 5000 miles... They are Riken Raptors 245/50/16 all around. Crappy tire but at the time was budget friendly and I didn't drive it any anyways. Wheels are in good shape but really just looking for ideas until I can get some pics up. Thanks again!

I was thinking about those for my black formula. Should look great. I sold the ones from my camaro with tires (10kmiles) for 350. Sold the next day.. Also sold chrome trans am wheels for 300 fronts just rim and back had used nitto dr's. You could probably get more depending condition

So got some pics...not best quality so forgive me. From a phone.

First and second pics and only dmg I noticed at a glance... Minor curb rash and lloks like some dents in the chrome? Barely noticeable.... Insides dirty but that just needs some cleaning when removed. Not sure how bad that dry rot is, not a tire guy but overall good shape. Plenty of tread.

I sold mine for 200 with bald tires. The kid wanted them as drag wheels for his BMW.

I thought about keeping but no room and if someone could get more use out of them instead of sitting then it's win win. Plus the funding would be nice to pay the the new purchase lol

I would post for $500 on Craigslist. Chrome, good tires and immediate pickup. Someone will pay that or damn close to it for them.

Was gathering thoughts on getting some spacers for the rears. They are the 54 mm offset and spacers are like a foreign language to me...Brought some pics to get an idea of if I should or size, brands, etc. Thanks! Loving the look these wheels did for my car. Hope it helps someone else make there decision.

looks good bud... i got mine on as well but i have not had a free weekend yet to wash the car and take some pictures. I don't think you will need to do any BFH. I am not getting any rub with the 295s on back.

Nope. No BFH for me. Just felt really close to fender well but after driving and some bumps and turns I'm good.

17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 out back. Need to do something with the center caps though...

















I am going to follow the advice of crimson_bird and get some spacers on all four corners and roll the fenders so when I am up for new tires I can cram some 305 back there.
