C-5 rims ??
what can I get for 2001 C-5 rims that sold for over $3000 when they were new. They are in great condition and only have 20,000 miles on them. I had a chevy dealer run my vin number and thats how I got the price....

Obviously getting anything from the dealer is going to cost a lot more then on the open market. Stock C5 thin spokes sell for less then $1000 and thats with rubber as they are pretty abundant....sorry to burst your bubble

You might get $400 if you wait on them a long time. $300 is more realistic for a quicker sale. Remember, you're competing against a new set of repros which can be had for $800-$1000 in any color/design/generation a C5 customer wants.

I would think the magnesium wheels would bring more money but probably not much more. I have my stock (thin spoke painted wheels with run flats) on a shelf in my garage. They are worth more to me as the original set than the $$ I could probably get for them. Seems like there is just not a huge market out there for them.

That's the question
Are they thin spokes or magnesuim?
If they are thin spokes are they polished or painted?
Ballpark prices depend on condition... here are my estimates of great condition prices:
painted thin spokes = $250
polished thin spokes = $400
magnesuim = $700

Hi, If you still have the wheels for sale, and they are in good shape I am interested in buying them.
Thanks!
