				You're usually better off buying curbed stock wheels. I was picking up Z06 fronts for $400/set a few years ago and I've bought factory Camaro SS wheels for $150-300/set. They're usually lighter and stronger then aftermarket stuff. When they're cheaper too, it's a no-brainer. |

I've been raping them lately for all the 17x9.5 Z06 wheels I could get. Post a WTB message in the road racing forum. You'll get a better response than the classifieds. I'm averaging $100-$125 per wheel. Make sure to ask for pics of the inside GM stampings to ensure OEM. |

I drove 80 miles round trip to buy an "OEM Corvette Z06 wheel" off Craigslist for $75. When I got there it was a chrome replica. I bought it for $20 anyway since the guy had no calls on it, but it was still a let down and not really worth the gas. It did make a full set of wheels for the 3 sawblades a guy in the neighborhood dropped off to get them out of his garage. |
