Default NEED some wheel help too!!!

I posted this in the C5 parts listings too, but thought MAYBE somebody who owns a Z06 MIGHT have a set of the Gray stock Z06 wheels that they have replaced with something different and don't need them anymore. I JUST purchased my Electron Blue Z06 2 days ago and noticed the LEFT front and RIGHT rear wheels have some serious curb rash.( how do ya do that one??) Anyway, if ANYBODY wants to give these up shoot me a message. I'm a little cash poor right now, but hey.. priorities!! Got to replace them, it's driving me nuts now I know the rash is there!! Thanks alot!! Pop.

Easy fix. They can be exchanged for chromes for around 700 bucks. The place I used did not charge extra for curb rashed cores, only if they were bent, and curb rash often caused the wheels to bend. They charged 105 extra for the bad cores i sent them.

I may have an extra set of z06 chromes. I bought them, and I think i prefer a different set. I plan on keeping the original stockers. Pm me if u r interested.

Check on eBay using "Z06 wheels" to search. There are sets of factory wheels for sale there all the time that people have taken off to put on aftermarket wheels. I have seen several sets for sale recently that claimed the wheels were taken off when the car had only 300 to 400 miles.
