Default WTB. 18X10.5 wheels repro or oe

Need 4 18X10.5" in c5z sizes for track use. I would prefer zo6 rears but am finding they are real hard to come by. they don't need to be pretty just cheap.
i can buy new repros, for 550 including shipping so they need to be cheaper than that.
thanks.

the repros are heavy.........get OEMs' if you can find them. I bought both, and the OEM's were 9lbs lighter each (19 vs 28 as memory serves me)

I would def prefer speedlines but they I have been seriously hard to come by. They seem to sell either fast for cheap or the ones I can find are chrome plated (i'm guessing) by an older gent and is selling for a 1000 bucks. No disrespect to the older gents.

If you decide you want lighter OEM Speedlines, I have a set of rear chromed Speedlines I would sell for $300 plus shipping. One wheel looks great, the other has some rash and a small knick, but no major damage and both are straight and would work well for track use.

PM me if you're interested.

(I actually just bought a set of primo condition chrome Speedlines from Stevo92z28 tonight to replace the ones I am selling).
