Default This a good deal?

I'm lookin to get some new wheels for my 94 Formula. A local guy has a set of aftermarket C5 Z06 wheels for sale. He wants $350 for them and they have tires on them that dont have much tread on them. One of the wheels has a little bit of damage, nothing major though.



Are these a good deal?

Not so much if they're the repro cheapies. If they have the gm logo inside the spokes and say speedline, made in italy I think, etc. You can buy the monster heavy repros on ebay cheap.Unless you have a mounter don'forget the cost of dismount.Especially if you buy used tires like me. Watch the offsets too. Ive got the same rim in 10.5x18x56 and had to trim off the bumps and massage a touch. 17x9.5x54 front w a smidge of room. I got mine for 350 local w junk tires and thought that was real decent...Know anybody that wants them? I'd let em go for 350 with the tires off for cheaper shipping. they are grafite( dk grey) and the outer lip egde is polished to remove some scuff. a little clear coat is off but I think the originals sell for a ton o money
