I picked up my C6 rims for $200 and they're in MINT condition. However, finding them that cheap is hard because as soon as someone posts them for that, they're gone. I got mine from a seller on www.corvetteforum.com Most sets go for $300 - $400.

Yes, I paid $200 for my set of SILVER C6 rims in MINT condition. Polished go for $400-$600 and the chrome are usually $600-$800. The HOT color people seem to really want right now are the competition gray rims and those are selling for about the same as polished C6 rims.

Of course the new split spoke take-off rims off of the new '08's are a bit more. Silver ones are currently between $400-$500 right now.

Front 18x8.5 C6 rims have a 56mm offset and will fit the front of 4th Gen. F-Bodies just fine. The rear 19x10 C6 rims are a bit off with a 79mm offset, but a set of 1.25" adapters for $60 off eBay will solve that problem. I wouldn't try to buy longer studs and do spacers because the adapters simply bolt to stock wheel studs and then give you new studs to bolt the rim to.
