i ended up getting the chrome z06 (stock c5 sizes) from corvettes of houston. I know a lot of cars have them but they look soo sharp in chrome! 
i am going to make a post later in the classifieds, but ifyou guys or know anyone else who wants them, the only thing wrong is on ONE SPOKE on one of the rear wheel the clearcoat is fading slightly. i am going to put them on for probably 700 OBO so just let people know if you know anyone intersted! thanks!

About 2.5 years ago I sold my polished ones from my car - got $800 then. If they are in excellent shape, $700-800 should be about right.

What you are failing to realize is that you do have a use for them. It's nice to have the stock wheels(or an extra set of some wheels) for the following reasons.
1. If/when you sell your car, the buyer may prefer the stock wheels.
2. Nice to have a spare set around(with good tires) in case something bad happens to a wheel of your aftermarket set, you can swap the stock set on while you figure out what your're gonna do about fixing/replacing the bad wheel.
3. You don't track, autox, drag etc. with your car? If not, too bad, but if you do, then it's nice to have a set of wheels(like your stockers) that you can use for those events, & put sticky rubber on
.
Reasons why you should sell. You really need the $$ or you don't have space to store them. I guess by now you can tell that I'm a wheel *****
