Is there any demand/market for factory gold mag (C5) take-offs?

Maybe the OP is referring to the C5 magnesium wheels, which I don't think there would be much demand for anyway.

If you are talking about the magnesium wheels which were more of a bronze color and were a high dollar option at least initially, then yes, someone would probably want a set if in very good condition. They were lighter than any other factory wheel that was available on the C5.

There was also a champagne colored wheel that came on the 2003 Anniversary Edition coupe and convertible cars that someone may want.

If you have a set for sale, post them up, with a price indicated, in the C5 Parts for Sale/Wanted section.

Pics of what wheel you actually have would be beneficial if you plan to sell them.

I'm in the market for square set of mag wheels not looking to spend a bunch of money on them, but they are light and I like the way they look.

I would have to guess the op is referencing these. And as mentioned, they’re said to be 50th anniversary wheels. Saw a set on the big auction site for $1K
