C5 Magnesium Wheelset value

Hello,

I've run across an opportunity to purchase a set of four original GM magnesium wheels. Although I've not yet seen them in person, condition is reportedly near perfect. Not sure what model year C5 removed from. Purchasing price would be $700. In 2012 dollars, is this good, reasonable, or high pricing? I've not owned a set previously.

Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

A tad on the high side, I have a set, they still have the tires installed(worn out)and senors, I would let mine go for $500 but I will not ship.

Seems like they're offered at right around $600.00 for the ones I've seen. The year doesn't matter as they're all the same.

IMO, $600 seems like a reasonable price for an unblemished set of the magnesium wheels. They are a great looking set of wheels for the C5.
