Finally!!

Hello all,

After a few years of visiting this forum as a non corvette owner I am proud to say I have my first vette. Searched long and hard and ended up with a 99 pewter coupe, bone stock.

Thanks to some great threads here I have already repaired the oil pressure sending unit, and have lots of ideas for new black wheels.

Gonna take some better pics after wheels get here.

What is the going rate for wagon wheels in good condition?

Very nice

Better off just keeping the stock rims. They aren't worth much.

I bet you are so excited. I got my Torch Red 99 Coupe only 3 months ago and I am still pumped up about it.

I sold my Wagon Wheels about a month ago for $260 and I was happy to get that amount. They were in perfect condition. I wasn't out to gouge anyone. Just wanted them to go to a good home at a reasonable price. We, in the Corvette community, help each other.

So I would say you could get what I got also ($260)
