haha wow...i have those exact rims, and some dude delivering a new washer and drier to my house today was like "damn son, those look nice, i got me a camaro too...you wanna sell those?"

i said "sure, $1200 and i'll take them off the car now and their yours" (that's rims and damn near brand new BFG kDW2 tires on them)

he said deal, he gave me a deposit and is gonna get them in a few weeks....

i'm in the market for chrome ZR1's now lol...17x11 rear's



i really like those rims, but i'm in the same boat as you, i'm ready for a change and an opportunity presented itself so i'm strait
