Default Anyone have or seen these?

I am just curious if anyone has or seen these? Seems like a decent deal for somebody on a budget looking for rims...Any opinions?

Would they last? Anyone know how they would look on a black trans am?

i think these look a little better, but dont get me wrong i like the ones you picked out too. i cant find the 17/18 set though on ebay- they are 495 which is pretty cheap. either one you go with im sure will look pretty badass!

yea, for 315, i think they are a steal, i kinda just wanted to keep it 18x9.5 all the way around because all the 17/18 combos have 10.5s out back, and tires are expensive as ****...i wanna know what the center cap it made of, i'd like to paint it black or find black center caps...its either these or some 17 inch z07s for 449, but i kinda like the idea of 18s all the way around...i'm keeping my factory twisties for the track and winter...

I think the link you have posted here looks better than the old style Z06s

or even some C6 wheels.

I like the 2nd ones better and the seller is well known. I would want to know how much each of them weighs as well.

i'm not too concerned about weight, these will be cruising rims...my car isn't built up yet, once it is, then i'll get some slicks and skinnies for the track...

AGREED! (Except for the center cap as others have noted.)

The ONLY C6 wheels I like are the competition grey, or black painted.
I can't stand them in chrome/polished!!
