Corvette ZR1 rims(please read inside)

I was in the process of ordering corvette ZR1 rims(ex.98'-99'camaros ss) from this guy who was charging me $800.00 for all 4(I want the cast looking ones,chrome ones look nasty). Anyway i turned it down mainly on my discovery of other places that sells them cheaper. Ive tried ebay someone wants 750.00 for it, i've tried SLP they want $700.00 for it but thats the lowest i've seen. Are there any other places that i might find for an even cheaper price. Its not that im cheap or anything im sort of on a budget. U know what im talking about

Take my advice, do'nt buy an '84. Spend a couple more dollars and get an '85 or newer.

I second that. 84 was a horrible year for Corvettes. On the other hand Camaros shined in 84. I think in 85 they also did some major suspension upgrades (though I could be wrong, I'm not a Corvette buff). Just from what I've seen my dad have. He had an 84, an 85, and a 95.

Sorry, that sounds pretty cheap. But back to the heat on the 84 corvette check this page out. There's more recalls than parts on the damn car i think!!!

Hey you might want to make sure the bolt pattern fits I dont know if its true but i herd that 93 and up Camaros/Vetts have a different bolt pattern. About prics on the rims 700 seems to be a good price

I think SLP has the cheapest that I have seen them. Also if you buy the tires with their package, you would be saving a whole lot of money. And if you can't afford more than $700.00 I would say to take your chances on ebay or just find a different set of wheels.
