Default FS - Polished Thin Spokes

For sale is a set of polished thin spokes that were original equipment on my 2004 coupe. The car has 31,000 miles on it. I bought it around 29,000 miles. These wheels have been sitting in my garage as the car is now race only and I use alternate wheels. The thin spokes show no signs of cracks or bends. All wheels have a few minor clear coat imperfections. One wheel (a rear) has a more significant scratch (pictured below). It was there when I bought the car so I do not know how it happened. Asking $550 + shipping from 76904. I can potentially deliver to DFW or Houston depending on timing.

These are base wheels (non-Z06). They are 1" narrower than the Z06 sizes. Fronts are 17x8.5, rears are 18x9.5.

I have wheel boxes and can ship. Not sure of the cost, but I can get a quote if you are interested.

It's 2000 miles to my house, how much does one rim weight , got to be around 20lbs each , and these are stock rims for an 04 , if it's not too much trouble have a look ,no rush ship it ground USPS and see what the cost is , I can Have them delivered in Ogdensberg NY , maybe if it's stays in the states it would be cheaper , Oggy is only 1 hr drive for me . Ron
Or give me the weight and I can find out,

Hi, I was under the impression that the polished rims were all aftermarket? I may be mistaken. I am in need of the back 2 rims for my 2000 c5. Is the finish on these almost like a chrome? They appear that way in the pics but sometimes photos can be deceiving..

Chrome are aftermarket . . .polished and painted are stock.

And yes- with some serious work, they can appear as bright as chrome . . .

NEVER stock from the factory........They have been chromed after the fact or they are high polished. Many people think the high polished are chrome ( check them with a magnet )

The polished (and clear coated) are factory. I even have the right RPO code on my car to know that they are the wheels came with the car from the factory. All the chrome thin spokes are either aftermarket (without GM mark) or chromed factory wheels (with GM mark).

Just to reiterate, these are factory wheels with the factory polished and clear coated finish.
