I have 5 magnesium wheels for sale. In my personal opinion these are the best looking factory wheels for C4's and C5's.

Magnesium wheels were a rare factory option on the C5 for several years. They were a $3000 option in 1998.

These are the only factory magnesium wheels ever offered on a Corvette. They were built by Speedline Wheels in Italy under contract for GM. They are of course very light weight. Unlike Z06 and other C5 wheels, they have never been offered as reproductions.

All 5 wheels are 18's. I think this looks better than the staggered look of 17's in front.

I have listed prices, detailed descriptions, and photos for each wheel below. I'm located in Santa Monica, CA. I have priced all 5 wheels individually but will also sell a set of 4 at a discount.

Wheel #1

Perfect, unused new old stock wheel. Someone at the dealership nicked the inner lip (not visible with tire mounted), so they were never sold. I have never mounted tires on this wheel. (no photo)

$400 plus shipping

Wheel #2 sold; all others still available.

Wheel #1 sold.
I have added one additional wheel for sale; see below. 4 wheels total remaining.

Wheel #6. New old stock unused wheel in perfect condition.

This is an interesting wheel in that someone put a note on it saying "Experimental part not for production use." I has never had a tire mounted on it. There are also a bunch of felt-tip pen markings on the wheel.

The date code is 1997 (not sure what month). The mag wheel option was first available in 1998.

I'm guessing that this wheel was sent to GM for testing but never used. It probably sat in their warehouse until a parts dealer bought it.

There is a little abrasion on the inner lip (See photo), not visible otherwise.

$400 plus shipping.

You need to add a price for wheel #6. Please do so by 11 pm on 10/21/17 or that part of your thread will be removed. Thanks.

? The photos are already posted.

I’m not talking about the pics - you need to show a price for what you label as wheel #6. I can only assume that it is different than the other five that you have shown prices for.

If that assumption is wrong and it is actually one of the previous five, then you need to edit your post to show which wheel it actually is.

Thanks.

kdm123

Okay, thanks, got it. Edit made.

Vetteman Jack

Thanks for adding the price.
