Default C6 GS Wheels

Just curious on what you guys think a true OEM set of C6 GS wheels with about 1500 miles on them would go for on the market. Thanks

I'm assuming chrome GS wheels. I would say they are the most common so less demand. If you had a silver or black set, I would guess you could get a little more. Probably $1000 to $1200.

Unless your GS still has the 1500 miles on the odometer, it's a little difficult to prove the wheels only have 1500 miles. If they are in perfect condition I agree with PM_Performance, <$1000.

The good thing is the parts for sale section is free. List them for $1000 and see how many hits you get. You can always lower the price.

Best of luck,
Jason

Every and I mean every once in a while you can find a smoking good deal on GS wheels. Back around Sept I bought a set of chrome GS wheels w/sensors and Michelin runflats for $300……that being said, while the tires still had the little nubs on them—-they were 10yrs old (which I replaced with new Hankooks)…..and the sensors lasted about a week before all four died.

Bare aluminum finish. Whatever you’d like to call it.

I wouldn't pay anywhere near $1000 for GS wheels. They're the most common and least desirable wide body wheel. I think $500 a set is pushing it, I'd want to pay 300-400$.

I sold my set of Chrome GS wheels for $850 2 yrs ago on FB Marketplace. Listed for $1200 originally then dropped $ to get them out of garage.
Wheels had 25,000 miles on them and were in great condition.

I've been curious on this too since I have the grey ones. I like them, but hate how far they tuck into the fenders and don't want to run spacers. Sure would offset the cost of new wheels especially since I would stick with the 18/19 to keep the rotational mass as low as possible.

The rotational mass doesn’t change if you properly size the tires
The issues you are going to find is that there are extremely limited options on 18/19 double staggered setups that will have decent offset.
Once you step up to a 19/20, the heavens open with options that are more flush, but still not flush/flush.
most aftermarket wheels will do +52 put back and I can tell you there is more meat on the bone.

Default C6 base corvette tire steup

I am currently running 245/35/19 on the front and 305/25/20 on the rear of my base C6 corvette. When I go over 65 miles an hour, I get an alert on my dash saying traction system active and the car doesnt let me accelerate. What size tires should I go with in the rear so that this is no longer an issue?

That's only about a 1/4" of stagger, you want about 1". I would go with a 30 series front to get 1.22" stagger.

I meant the weight of the wheel itself will typically be more on a larger wheel than a smaller wheel, tires are a whole separate topic.

I am running 245/35/19 front, 295/30/20 on rear without issue. 19x8.5 front / +50 offset, 20x10.5 / +69 offset rear. Good fender / tire alignment and very good handling.

Do you think going 305/30/20 would make it act up?

Depends on wheel width. Here's good guideline:
