2024 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
That's a beautiful color on a C5. You picked up a great Corvette! 
I'd suggest holding on to the wagons for the time being if you have room to store them. Not because they aren't what you would call "desirable" on the used market, but because I actually think they look nice.

Congrats on getting your C5 - pewter is a great color for the car - hides scratches and dirt and IMO is very classy. If I were you, I'd just keep the wheels - they'd come in handy for a spare set then get a different set for an updated look.

Congratulations on your 1st Vette - good looking set of wheels. Also, welcome to the forum, you'll find it tremendously helpful and everybody's great to pitch in with ideas and suggestions.
Look under the parts section, saw some wagon wheels on there yesterday, I believe. Might give you an idea as to value - I'd keep the wheels myself (I did) - might come in handy.
Best of luck....

Welcome!
The pewter is a great color as it is easy to keep clean. All stock is very nice too, save for the oval tipped exhausts, but at least they have the chrome extensions on them.
I also like the body side molding/BSM, car does not look right without it to me.
What kind of wheels do you have on the way?
