Im looking to upgrade from my 04 style chrome five spoke wheelswith run flats to a set of chrome Z06 wheels.

The onesI havenow are in outstanding condition but the back twotires need to be replaced. The rims are 17x 8.5 in the front and 18x 9.5 in the back.

What would be a fair price to sell them with and without new tires in the back? Thanks

Stock C5 wheels and tires don't bring too much. Problem is, where is the market for them? Everyone with a car they will fit wants aftermarket wheels.
I bought a set with fairly good stock tires, about half the tread remaining, for $275 a couple of years ago. Used them on the Camaro to avoid wearing out the tires we use at the track, etc.

I understand what your saying about everybody wanting aftermarket wheels, thats what im doing as well.. but i thought id just ask because a guy who owns a gas station around my house has a camaro and offered me $800 for the rims and tires and didnt know if i could get more for them.. but from your imput i guess thats a killer deal for me

These guys seem to do exchanges for the original cores, although they only seem to do it for the same style, maybe if you phoned them you could work somoething out. There maybe other companies that do the same thing and would allow you to effectively trade in the old ones you have for some new
