I got the deal of the year!
We all know how difficult it is to find C5Z wheels nowadays for a decent price. I've been looking for an extra complete set of 4 for a while. Most everyone wants $150-300 per wheel, the rears definitely bringing premium for road racing/auto-x. I already have an extra pair of rears for that purpose, but wanted an extra complete set to either powder coat black or have chromed. This way I can leave the original wheels alone since they are 2001 Alcoa wheels. Believe it or not I got a guy to sell me a full set of four for $200 plus shipping. Two of them have mild curb rash that I can get fixed. Plus they come with all four center caps! We used my FedEx account number to pay for shipping and only cost $87 for all four. Whoop, whoop!!! I found him on one of the Corvette Facebook pages so deals are definitely out there if you are patient.

Yeah I could very easily flip them for $600 right now. LOL Fortunate to find them. I guess the Lord knew I needed a deal since my hobby is on a low budget right now. I'll post up picks after I get them finished. Can't decide between powdercoating them satin black or going chrome. What do you guys think?

Check ebay. They want $295 for a new rear C5Z wheel. These are real popular with the road racers and auto-x.
