Yes for 200 theyre a steal. they're the lightest vette wheels and argueably some of the lightest wheels that will fit an fbody.

A whole set of magnesium vette wheels for $200 is crazy cheap. I've seen folks ask that much per wheel. Buy them and if you don't like them you can resell them for a profit I'm sure.

Yes, IF they are the actual C5 mags, I will take them if you don't.

Awesome. Thank you. Ya they're legit. I'm getting them off my buddies dads corvette. Was debating on painting them or leaving them be. Was wondering if painting them black would hurt the re sale

Leave them be. If you have to do something, use plasti dip since its not permanent.

I have two 17 inch mag vette wheels, with new 275 tires on them... The wheels are new refurbished powder coated black.

I want to sell...

You can see pics under the sales department... I will sell them 575 shipped. I have over 850 in them.

They are new with new tires... I have these, cause I decided to go with 18s all around....
