Default Too Much?

I went to a wheel store the other day and priced a set of 17" Torque Thrust II's with the satin centers. They gave me a price of 1300.00 for only the wheels. This price included the trade in of my 02' factory Z28 wheels. I feel like they were really overcharging. What do think? What is the going price of 17x9.5 TT II's new. Thanks.

Try TomZwheels he's got the TT2s for $949, and you keep your stock wheels
$1300 is way too much considering you're giving them your stock wheels

Probably a dumb question, but is this the correct backspacing for the front and back rims, and what size tires do you run on them?
