thats a pretty good deal but with tires and wheel spacers needed the deal wont seem as sweet, i got a set of c6 wheels for 225 oem on ebay pretty cheap only expensive part was the tires for the 19X10 rims 19" rims are quite expensive and hard to come by, all around 18" might be better then oem for tire availaility

ya, the price of 18" tires is why I got rid of my 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 Z06 wheels.
I am now running 17x9.5" Z06 wheels (traded my brother my 2 sets of ZR1's for the Z06's.).
