Default Wagon Wheel's Value?

Having modded up to 04 Z06 wheels, the question arises. What's my old wagon wheels worth? They're in mint condition, is $200 reasonable?

Based on what I've seen here, your $200 figure is certainly in the ballpark. Just have to find the right buyer - right place and right time.... Good luck.

In 20 years the Wagon wheel will probably be the coolest, rarest, most sought after wheel in the world for Corvettes. I can see the ebay ads now, original, great shape, $500 each. Wouldn't that just figure?

I'm hoping. I still have the chrome ones on mine and STILL get a lot of compliments on how nice they look.

I saw a 4th gen Camaro with C5 wagon wheels, and it looked real nice.

I've got a special little area in my basement where I pack up the original stuff from my car and store it. My wagon wheels, my air bridge, my seats, everything that came on my car is there. If, in 20 years wagon wheels are valuable, I'll be ready!

I'm in the same boat. If whoever buys my car wants it stock...I'm ready. Just need to pick up a stock 97 exhaust and they'll be good to go. I just can't seem to part with anything.

Your best bet is to sell them on racing forums. Guys will buy them to put their drag radials on them. I've been squirreling mine away for years in case I ever decide to take up racing.
