how much?
I figured this would be the best place to ask this question to get a real assessment of my factory rims. 09 Z06 with chrome factory spider rims; what is the going rate for these used? They have 6400 miles on them and are perfect; really want to upgrade to black chrome, but wanted to see what I would be able to get for these; thanks for the input.

I sold my stock C5 thin spooks when I had my C5 and had changed wheels, but I post pictures of all four together, then individual close ups front and back. I am not saying that yours are not perfect, but people want to see for themselves before laying out any money.

right now, OP is just asking for what to price it at. but when he goes to sell them, the advice re many pics, closeups etc. is a very good idea. gets the sale done far easier and justifies the price asked. making a sale easy on the buyer is always the preferred method, imo.

Well they were a $1,995.00 option new but we all know that you will not be able to get that price, so I would start at say $1,200.00 and you can come down some. There are new reproductions available for around $950.00 so it will be up to you as far as how low you will go or how high you start, but I would not think that asking anything close to the new GM prices will work.
You may want to think about changing from the OME to the aftermarket wheel there will be a difference in weight. The OME ore after all aluminum and I bet you will find that the ones you are looking at are not. So they will add unsprung weight and if you track the car it will have an effect on the times you turn. Probably not a whole lot, but some.
