New, take off OEM base chrome wheels that match the OEM wheel size on the 2014 base are routinely available for around $700 a set (possibly less). I would check the C7 vendor parts for sale section, the C7 parts for sale section and ebay. You should have no trouble finding a set provided you're looking for 18" front and 19" rear.
If you decide to go for Z51 size (19" front, 20" rear) that's an entirely different story and more expensive, usually over $1K.

I agree with the above - I've seen a few sets of the 18/19 chrome wheels posted for sale lately and the forum's wheel vendors have some listed on their sites. Give them a call for pricing.

Agreed on used OEM wheels. You might want to post your location as shipping can be a big cost factor.
I'm going to have a set available soon. I have both the 19/20 chrome wheels mounted now and a set of 18/19 chrome I bought. I originally thought I wanted to go back and forth between PSS and A/S3 tires. But the PSS are near the end of their life and I think I'm going to just put A/S3's on one of the rims and sell the other instead.

Check vendors like West Coast Corvette for a wde selection of new OEM style reproduction wheels in chrome, painted silver and painted black at reasonable prices. I went with chrome ZR1 replicas on my GS.

Most of the big Corvette Forum aftermarket vendors will have OEM chrome wheels. I sold our base suspension painted wheels to a chrome shop in S CA. They are now shining in the light someplace out there.

DEWEYISGOD - I'm looking for a set of chrome 18/19 C7 Z51 wheels to replace my painted wheels. Are your 18/19 chrome wheels Z51's or base model C7 wheels? BTW, I live in in the Dallas area.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just the Facts
That would be correct. C7 Z51s were 19/20 day one. We upgraded from base 18/19 to 19/20 Z51 spec wheels and tires the first week we owned our car. These are a direct swap. So find 19/20 wheels, buy new tires, you are rocking and rolling down the road.

C7 Corvette Chrome Z51 rim/tires
check with Bob at House of Wheels.... he can fix you up with what ever you want. I bought a set of triple chrome ZO6 rims and put new Michelin run flats All Season tires on them... on my 2014 Z51... much better ride and looks great! Good luck

Another vote for forum vendor Bob @ House of Wheels. Two weeks ago purchased new GM/OEM double/split spoke chrome wheels [18/19] for my '17 base stingray. Excellent communication...Bob patiently answered all my questions, fast shipping and wheels were very well packed. Also, shipping was free for CF forum members. Initially considered used wheels. However, ultimately decided the price differential between used and new wheels was not worth saving a few hundred $$ for used, so bought new. Very pleased with my purchase from HoW.
