Hello all
A gentleman owed me some money ($400). He gave me these vette wheels in leu of cash. I have no idea about vettes nor the wheels. I wish to sell them as I need money but have no where to start. Will some kind soul point me in the right direction? I offer pics but can't post yet.jjdjr

Those are C6 wheels... Base model.. Someone else will have to chime in about how to tell if they are OEM or replicas... They look OEM from what I can tell..

I think they go for about $400 for 4.

Look inside the spokes for a GM LOGO to know if they are true GM.
If not about 250.00 used, if gm about 300.00 used if no bad marks on them. just my 2 cents....Robert

Actually those look like standard C6 wheels.

These are "Gumbys". Note the shape of the spokes and how they taper down at the hub and the lug nuts are between the spokes, not ON the spoke like the standard straight spoke (slight taper actually) C6 wheels.



Also available as a split-spoke version:
