A mold rims on a C5?

There seem to be two distinct approaches to fitting wheels/tires to a car.
One group would rather die than drive a car where the wheel extends outside the body lines, the other (my group) could care less so long as it facilitates the preformance envelope of the car.

The ZR1 offset will work in the rear although the tires will stick out quite a way. It may not work in the front since the offset will push them out to the point the arc the tire follows when the steering is turned may cause it to impact the outside of the wheel well. When I ran the GS 17x11 on the front of my C5s there was very little room between the tire and wheel well when I turned the tires. An extra 14 mm outwards would probably make the tires hit the outside of the fender at the front of the wheel well and maybe hit the rear of the wheel well as well.

Good lord, is that what these go for now? I have scores of A-molds, although mostly the 17x9.5's which I'm sure aren't as valuable. And they're definately not like new.
I think the 11" were $450 each, from the Chevy dealer! Didn't know I was sitting on black gold.
