What are Factory wheels worth?
My brother in law has a set of the factory 2000-2004 wheels with about 30,000 miles on them, what are they worth, he wants to get rid of them at Carlilse.
Thanks,
Tom M

If they are painted, he might get $200-300 for a set. High polished might bring $400-450. A lot will depend on the condition of the wheels.

I had the same situation. When on a post Mark (Toque) gave me the idea about 30 days ago. I was going back and forth justifying purchasing my CCW505a's for an 01. It made good sense to me at the time and perhaps its a suggestion that makes sense to others as well. Why sell'm for $300/400 (I have yet to clean my chrome thin spoke but plan to) I will then store them. If and when the time comes I want to upgrade my C5 Vert. I will put them back on my Vet and sell my CCWs here for close to the same money I paid for them. Problem solved positively, win/win for me anyways

See them on craigslist often in the $200. - $300. range and looks like it takes awhile to sell.

I have bought 3 sets of polished thinspokes with caps ($125 for OK wheels) ($200 for very good wheels) ($300 for very good wheels with tires)
I bought a set of Z06 Speedlines with caps for $300 (OK wheels that cleaned up pretty nice)
I sold a set of magnesium wheels with caps for $800 (nice wheels with a couple of paint chips that were touched up) with bad tires.
I sold a set of wagon wheels (very good wheels) with caps and old runflats for $400.

Thanks for the replys guys, I will let him know, they do include the original caps and runflats, so it sounds like $200 - $300. I am kind of surprised with how low they are, would think the 4th Gen Camaro guys would be all over them.

The best I have seen for the Z06 wheels is the $300 set I bought. Usually I see them going for a little more ($400-$500) if they are in good condition.

I bought a set of very good polished aluminum wheels from a member's '02, with center caps and runflats with 6K miles on them (without TPMS) for $100 about a month ago. You see used ones on different vendor's websites for $350 ea, plus $100 ea for center caps. I was very fortunate to get the deal I did - he had tried to sell a couple of years ago without any luck.
