Thinking of going with 10 spokes

Found a pretty good deal on chrome 10-spokes($650), and I'm going to get them next week unless I'm warned otherwise here. I'm really sick of these stock rims. Do y'all think I should get these and be done with it, or wait and maybe get some Z06's or black ZR1's?

Also, would I be able to go with 295's on these, or will it not fit properly?

One more thing, how much should I expect to get for my stockers? I was thinking somewhere in the region of $350.

EDIT* Just realized the fronts are 245's. Should I swap those out immediately, never seen pics of that setup, but don't imagine it would look that good.

Were they 17X9.5's? I thought you couldn't go that big on 9.5's?

Good to know. Did you sell your 10 spokes? If so, how much did you let them go for?

Just a little heads up, the chrome 10-spokes are NOTORIOUS for chipping and rusting. Make sure you inspect them real good before you buy.
