I have a complete set original OEM 50th anniversary wheels / rims. They’ve never been driven on and are boxed and stored away in climate protected storage. Shipping is fine but no returns are accepted. No payment apps and Rims would be shipped one-way no returns upon clearance of your check/funds .Askiing $2k Never been mounted..(very difficult to find) call leave message, or text.

The 50th anniversary came in Champaign it's the only wheel that came on the 50th and they are special wheels they were made in Italy and if you were to buy them from a dealership you're looking at $1,000 a piece

Those center caps on the AE wheels must be replacements and not OEM's as the standard caps had red colour inlay of the C5 logo ?

It's really not too hard to paint the recessed logo with a shade of red that is very similar to the original. To get 18" thinspokes all around, I bought an extra set of silver thinspokes and painted the 18" wheels with some "Warm Nickel Metallic" I bought from a Corvette vendor, then I painted the red portion of the center caps by hand.
Doesn't take long.

I had to repaint the center caps so therefore the logo was covered over. I may try to hand paint them but if it doesn't work out would look like sh*t

would suggest that you use the wheel decals (for the C5's) that are available through some of the Corvette parts retailers ... sold as a set ... better than painting ... hard to do to look good given the small space ...
