Default Wheel questions

We are cleaning out my dad's garage and he is thinking about getting rid of his stock 03 Z06 wheels, they have less than 100 miles on them, and are for lack of a better term perfect, never even got dirty... are they worth anything? I know the earlier years the wheels were a special alloy and they were fetching some decent money...IIRC in 03 they were just aluminium alloy with a grey painted finish...right? Where is a good place to find out what they are worth to sell?

Thanks.

They should sell rather quickly. It's a good wheel! I'd guess at least $75-$100 a wheel.

So they really are not worth much, These are not reproductions, these are the factory Speedlines. Am I right about just being aluminium?

Default Sold!

I bought these wheels today from bcartman and couldn't be happier!

He's a straight-up guy - sent me tons of pictures and once we negotiated a price, he met me half-way (we live a couple hundred miles apart) to do the sale. Made it easy.

The wheels are exactly as he said they were...just short of perfect. Probably the cleanest, most blemish free wheels I've seen. Can't wait to get them on the car...

Thanks!
