Found these locally...What do you guys think?

So I found a set of C5 17''f/18''b rims... Unfortunately he painted them, which means I would need to strip and polish them...but it looks like I could get them for $350-$400.. The tires on them only have 200-300 more miles on them.. but I have the car up for the winter anyways..so I would just get new tires in the spring.... All I would need to do is get some 2in spacers and I could just throw these on after cleaning them up.

2002 LS1 rear waiting to go on the car in the spring too..

What do you guys think? Would you get them or just pass them up?

If you like them buy them, personally I don't like them. I like the old school Irocs, thats what I am looking for! Good luck

I love my irocs...but I need more tire on the rear... When my LS1 swap rear gets installed in the spring I'll be putting 300HP to the rear on 4.11 gears...I'll need the tread.

I'll have a nice set of Single line IROCS if your interested.

That's what I'm thinking...even if I just turn around and resell them.

Ok. ill keep you posted. they could use a good cleaning. i was going to have them reprinted and polished, but never did because i knew i wasn't gonna keep them much longer.

They are in great shape with all the wheel caps...but the front left rim does have a small 1/2 crack on one spoke. It isn't growing and has been on it since before i got the car from the Original owner. Im not worried about it, but I'm sure it'll kill their value a bit..

Re: Found these locally...What do you guys think?

Picked them up last night. Rims are in perfect condition and the tread is better then what i have now.on the car. So i won't need to get those replaced until the spring. I think I got a nice deal!

They're painted black now, going to polish the front face of them over the weekend. Might have to strip the whole rim down first if they are clear coated, then respray the black and polishthe face.

Pics when i get off work..
