FS Central FL: Chrome Thinspoke replica wheels w/ Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP Plus
***SOLD***
So I took the plunge a while back and got a set of CCW 505As. My previous set of wheels and tires have been taking up garage space and its now time for them to find a new home. Stock C5 sizes for wheels and for the tires.
Asking ***SOLD*** plus shipping, or pick up in the Central Florida area.
245/45/17 & 275/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP Plus run flat tires and 17x8.5 & 18x9.5 reproduction Chrome Thinspokes, aka Y2K wheels.
The good - Tires are in great shape and probably have 70% tread life remaining. I really did love this tire and for a run flat it really performed well, especially in the rain, and didn't make very much noise. There are TPMS installed that will work with 1997-2000 C5s so they are a perfect upgrade from wagon wheels and ready to bolt right on to your Corvette. Date codes on the tires are all from 2013 and they have been garage kept, so no dry rotting or old useless tires. I got burned on my CCW purchase with the age of the tires. They were advertised as being 4 years old, but they were not all the same date code so I was burned on two that were 10 years old and useless to me.
The bad - The rear wheels have pitting in the chrome on the inner barrels. They were sanded down and painted with silver wheel paint to stop the pitting from getting any worse. The wheels still look great when installed on the car and the barrels are not that noticeable when mounted. There is also a small amount of pitting in the corner of the spokes on the rear wheels. Fronts are fine and have no pitting at all and have not been painted. Very minor scuffs (camera wouldn't pick them up) here and there, and no road rash of any type.
Shipping will probably run $250-$300 and I will be sure to box up each individual wheel. I learned that the hard way - I was burned on my CCW purchase when the seller wrapped them with cling wrap and used one layer of cardboard to cover the face of the wheel all while rubbing against the other wheel packaged with it. Needless to say it took 25+ hours of hand sanding and polishing to fix all of the damage inflicted from the poor packaging. I do not wish that pain on anyone and will do what I can to avoid it. I can also help meet up if need be. I've only purchased on Corvetteforum so far, but I have a fair amount of seller feedback on LS1Tech if you wanted peace of mind. PM me your number and I can text you more pics if you want.
