Default 17in GS wheels OEM/Kumho FS

I am done for the season and have one heat cycle on shaved Kumho 275 and 315 on original Black GS 17in wheels with ZR-1 offset for C5's. Located Eastern Pa. I am looking to return next year with a different track car, mine as well not have these tires age over winter. BTW anyone know what my car is worth? 22,000mi no wrecks ,see sig

I'll bet fronts are 9.5 and rears are 11 - thats what my repros are.

Wonder what he wants for them???

He says they are original GS wheels with ZR-1 offsets. They can't be both. The offsets are different for the GS and ZR-1 rears.

If they are black & OEM they have to be GS.

How much $$ ?

Boat is awesome, just no good in any real chop over 12 inches. So being I am not a dragboat type just like I am not a dragcar guy, I am moving on to a deep V hull... http://www.screamandfly.com/showthre...-Cougar-21-MTR some nice pix within the link. A bigger cat would do the trick , but I am trying to keep things down to a certain length in my barn. The boat reminds me of an old big block muscle car that can't stop or turn. Speed is 104 with 32in cleaver, less with 26in 4 blade.

Wheels are OEM. They are "used" with no curb rash. Truthfully I've never waxed them to a perfect shine, just cleamed off the brake dust. Black wheels are great for that . They are my HPDE wheels, so they have few miles compared to a wheel used daily, they have always been stored in a garage. The GS wheels are a great light weight option for a 17in. road race package. CCW are the ultimate, but you will pay more. I will try to post a picture of the wheels/tire tread but I just learned how to email a photo 3 weeks ago, it may take me a bit. The japanese made OEM wheels are supposedly superior to the cheaper repos you will find. The V700's had two mild 15 minute sessions before I pulled in with loss of power due to weak valve springs. I'll ship them , but it may take a few days for me to figure out the cost effective method for the buyer. I will not separate the tires, they are balanced heat cycled and ready to go.

Sorry for the slow response guys, been trveling and away from web off and on. Wheels/tires are in eastern pa , i can probably strap a frt to a rear x 2 and keep it under fedex grd's max wt or UPS in 2 parcels and protect the pretty black/silver finish..I've been running the exact combo for years.I only do drivers ed ...I back off thr last lap and cool things down, then in pits I roll the tires 90deg every 60sec for a few minutes.. seens tohelp with longevitiy......though I'll overnight in bubblewrap if that's what you want. this 17 in package as great for C5's. running Hoosier, Kumho, these light wheels feel great, decreasing unsprung wt., car turns crisper, gets set sooner from road bumps,curbing unloading..Let me know what a fair price is and I;ll deliver to a local track or ship as describd a bove,,,,,,we're ltalking shaved heatcycled V700's run under 30 minutes due to weak motor......Tire 800 new, wheels 5-600 new OEM, what it worth you guys are better parts dealers than me, I've givin sheet away I didnt need anymore here, but there;s some value here to help me move on.
