When I looked them up a new set cost 2400 (17x9.5 all around) I've seen some used sets going for 1700ish but I suppose the 18s would cost more.

No, they won't fit your car at all, give me the number of the person selling them.

Here are the before/afters. The tires are too small for the wheels, 245/45R17 and 275/40R18 they need 265/40's and 295/35s.

the only thing i dont like is the front offset, its kinda strange guess cause its for a vette.

Nice wheels! They are what I want. Where did you get them?

Where do you live, Vette Heaven?

I agree about the front offset. A buddy of mine has them on his ZO6 and they are completly different than my Fbody version. If you wanted to sell them I am sure you could almost tripple your money on ZO6vette.com or corvetteforum.

Yeah, those offsets are kinda funky, not wide enough lip in my opinion.
Here's mine. You can see the lip of the wheels is wider.
You got a damn good deal though!
