my buddy just picked up some fm5s, 17s, x11 in the rear, and they are powdercoated black with polished lip, and he payed the guy 1200, i believe, and that was with tires, and he gave him the 16inch ta wheels to put back to stock. and these are on a SOM WS6 now, man it looks good!!

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.

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.
They look good by the way.

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!
