Machine silver wheel combo?

I'm looking at getting a new set of wheels for my machine silver z51 corvette. Not wide body. I am looking at 18x8.5 and 19x10 wheel combo and I am on a $600 dollar budget. Any ideas? I had zr1 replicas and was looking at zo6 replicas now but I don't know for sure. Drop in your suggestions!

I am flirting with wheels for my narrow-bodied machine silver C6 as well, and I, too, am shall we say, cheap.

I think $600 is pushing the envelope on low price; however, I'm interested in what this thread turns up.

$600 is pretty modest. Craigslist is your friend, good luck fellas.

I'm in the same position with a silver 08. I am looking seriously at the C7 Z51 option, though have not seen any pic's with them on. Also shipping is a big issue. Good luck.

I was looking at aftermarket wheels but I actually like the wheels that came on mine so I bought the same set and powdercoated them extreme mirror black.

You can try doing an online search for OE wheels. There are aftermarket wheel sets that fit into your budget.

MDsilver vette: I really like the mirror black on yours I have the same on mine now just more of a matte finish.

Uncle cookie: I have searched them that's where I have been looking. I really like weld RTS wheels just wish I could afford them lol.

$600 for a set? Even the eBay reproductions cost more than that.

I paid a little under $1K. I have seen them as low as high 7's, don't recall where though. Like others have said, your $600 number is a tough one!

Just did a search online, you may be able to get them at your budget, not a forum vendor so I can't post site. Found them in a couple of minutes.
