Default 18x9.5 Polished ZR1 Wheel? Has anyone seen these?

I saw some on ebay! I didn't think they made these. Has anyone seen these before? At first I thought that they would be the wrong offset but they're not.

The Specs:
18"x9.5" ZR1 Wheels
Offset: 56mm
Bolt Pattern: 5x120.65mm (same as 5x4.75)

What are your opinions on these wheels? Do you think they are cheap quality? Does anyone have a picture of these on a camaro?

Thanks,
Nick

My buddy has a set of them, they're super heavy! Feels like they're made of metal than aluminum (which it most probably is for that weight).
Actually, I'm thinking of switching my 17" TTII's with him 'cos I have a set of Welds for the track and I just wanna look PIMP on the street ... lol

I know they are, but I'm kinda getting tired of the look though. It looks good on my buddy's car 'cos his is a totally silver (inc. roof) SS hardtop with dark tint and a HUGE silver intercooler peaking through the huge gaping hole in the front!

OOPS, I though he was talking about black Z06 wheels for some stupid reason ... had a retarded moment there!

Here's a link to the auction...
I don't know they look kind of cheap maybe?

non-sponsor link

They are also selling for under $400.?

I don't know I'm kind of scared to buy them but I bet a 18" polished ZR1 wheel would look awesome on my Red SS!! What do ya'll think.

They would look nice. Check out TomZWheels. They carry them too. Make sure your E-bay price includes the center caps and lugs.

If TomZWheels do have them I would rather buy from him since he is a reputable sponser.

TomZwheels doesn't carry them, but it would never hurt to ask. Someone posted pictures of them on a black camaro not too long ago. I'll search for them real quick.
