please double check me on this
First time replacing tires and also want to get rid of the wagon wheels. This is for a 99 Vert.
I found this for sale and from looking at my current tire size these look like a fit and also good for one set of tires.
Am I correct there or is there something I am missing?
Thanks.

let me add to the above statement... the wheels are not shown in close up. or mounted. they could be bent or any number of cosmetic flaws. I too would pass, very few people put Mud and Snow tires on their C5. That is what these tires are. When it comes to used wheels, I would want to see them in person and check their integrity, ( no cracks and not bent ) as these thin wall C5wheels can display when examined closely.)

I started looking for rims myself, I'm looking for ccw sp 500s. I really want to buy local so I can look at them in person and maybe even put them on a balance machine. I don't think that is a bad price if they are within driving distance you might go look. I would also keep an eye out in the parts section of forum. Good luck

I'd have to agree - unless you can physically check out the wheels and even have them checked for any problems, I'd pass.

If it is a local craigslist ad it might be worth a shot to go and look at them. If they are not bent but in fine condition, then you might offer the seller $400 for the wheels only.
By the way, the runflats that were originally on the Corvette were M&S rated. Have 4 originals still sitting in my basement.
