Default Chrome z06 wheels ????

Has anyone bought the affordable chrome z06 wheels I see on E#*y? Four wheels for $499 seems almost to cheap. I am looking for a set of 18” front and rear for my 01 z06.
Any help would be appreciated.
Scott

Try JW Motoring. Great service, very competitive prices and he stands behind his products. And anymore, $500 for a set of the reproduction chrome Z06 wheels is about normal.

There are vendors on this forum that sell them close to that.
Check House Of Wheels.

I bought them for my WS6 in November from a guy on LS1tech. Drove to Georgia from central Florida to get them, and worth the drive...he was asking $400 and I get them for $350.
Bought my Vette in June and while my T/A is out of commission(blown transmission) decided to swap the boring old wagons off for them about a month ago and regret I didnt the second I got the Vette. I know they are a pretty common wheel but I think they look amazing and "go with the car" Used wheel deals are out there on the forums, ebay, and craigslist etc.

Just a heads up, the cheap chromed wheels from China can develop problems after a bit. I had a set. The chrome at the edge on inward started peeling on two of the tires. Both reached the bead seal area, and the tires leaked.

Don't go eGay cheap. Some may have luck, but I don't trust them.

There is a set of four 18" chrome double spoke Z06 wheels with new tires mounted.
Search the auto parts section of Craigslist in Sarasota FL.
I would buy them but I need staggered wheels.
