Default Help with pricing

What’s a good price for a set of factory grand sport wheels? One of the fronts has some curb rash.

if you are buying 300 because of damage to chrome and you cant fix that yourself.. If you are selling give them away as I have a silver set and a gloss black set of perfect factory GS wheels and cant find a buyer on this forum in 6 months. I will be sending to scrap soon as no one wants this stuff anymore and they are in my garage taking up valuable space. C6"s are getting older and people are buying newer models so the mod frenzy here is slowing considerably. I just spent 3k on cup wheels and tires( wasted cash again) and will be trading my "13 GS in on something new. As BB king once said "the thrill is gone"

A lot of people think a set of any corvette wheels are worth $1000. The reality is MUCH different unless somebody really wants them.

Hey ontime, can you send me a PM message?Ii do not wish to hijack the OP's thread.
I have a 06 Z51 option C6 and my Gumby wheels and brakes have some corrosion on them. Looking at wheel options and red calipers. I am in Savannah Ga. if you want to chat about your wheels. I work with business jets during the day so I am easier to chat with in the evenings. Thank you.

Th;e other issue, if you don't live close enough to pick them up is the shipping. I bet it would be at least $150 to ship all 4 wheels.

I just realized the GS is a widebody like the Z06, and GS wheels would be too wide on my mere C6.
Sorry.

Agreed. I've kept an eye out on the classifieds and regional section for a while now. Wheels that I'm interested in are never within pick-up distance, or they don't fit, or the style isn't to my liking.
That's where the problem lies. All these things have to line up, and taste/subjectivity is going to affect the residual value of the wheels big time. You might love them, but to everyone else they might only be curious.
Anyway, GLWS
