You could always pay more--unless you bought it from Crane.

Crane's Corvettes is usually reasonable. Could the asking price be a typo error?

Why not just get replicas? Wait, why not get better wheels like TTII's or some one off customs for a few grand that will look 100x better?

99.9% of people wouldn't know a real one from the latest reproduction wheel that's been on the market for a year or so. The 0.01% that could tell the difference would know where to get a real set in equal or better condition for a fraction of the price.

People that are simply chasing jusging points to boost the selling price of a car install a borrowed set of rallys for judging, then swap for a set of cheap knock offs for the eBay listing.

Works every time.
