Luke,
This may be a stupid question,but I am still rather new to having a Corvette..are the BFG's funflats? Don't think so, but cannot tell from the pics..do 2000 TPS fit in the C6 wheels?...can they be used with non-runflats? Also, how in the world can you ship for $800 including freight?? ( I know this is another stupid question, but when I sold my OEM painted silver wheels, it was something like $80 each to ship them to the east coast...so I ended up selling them locally...) Thanks, Bob in Mesa.

No, they are not runflats so your car will ride and handle much better. The TPMS fit(I took mine out to put in my new wheels), and TPMS can be used with any tire that you choose to use for your vette.
I can ship them for that price cause I'm not worried about making a gob of cash. Just want them to go to someone that wants a nice wheel with practically new tires, at a price that won't take away from the grocery fund.

Tim,
Still agonizing over making this decision...I will sleep on it tonight and get back to you in the morning, either way. If you have sold them or sell them before I get back to you, I understand. Just debating whether I should go to non run flats vs the 50% tread left Firehawk runflats I have now. We have a small house (get away from the heat in the desert house in the mountains) which is about 100 miles away...with almost nothing in between...if I get a flat on the way there we are SOL until AAA gets there..or buy a small 12 volt compressor and flat-fix...which I hear will probably toast the TPS. Hope you understand. If we do go ahead, how would you ship? Can they be boxed? Bob

I wouldn't worry about your runflats, You can keep them to use if you have a need, Nothing wrong with having 2 sets of wheels and tires. Your car would ride so much better without runflats, I will never go back to runflats, It is like a new car.
Tim, a bump for ya.

Tim, sorry that I could not get back to you this morning, but some recent events have made me decide to refrain from buying your tires and wheels...sorry...hope that you sell soon, and at the price you are asking they should sell quickly. Bob
