I have been looking for some as well. So far the best place I have been able to find them is ebay. prices are ranging from 600-1500. The best info I have been able to find is that they weigh 25 lbs. as well, but that doesnt seem right. Anybody else want to help us out w/ this??

NOOOOO....600-1500??? I just passed up a set of magnesium C5s for the polished aluminum. They only wanted $300 for them too.

unless im mistaken, they should be about 19lbs a wheel. West coast corvette sells a brand new set (reproduction/aftermarket) that you can buy for 1200. in 99 they were 3000 from the factory, in 2000, they were a 2000 option. They are the lightest set of wheels GM makes.

there is a pair on ebay right now going for under 500. just search for magnesium under rims

**AntsSilverC5** · 08-31-2007, 07:32 AM

Id pick those up quick before the seller finds out how much they're worth (if those are the rims u want for ur car)

**mpunklil** · 08-31-2007, 06:50 PM

i dont have the cash flow right now

im still tossing the idea of BBS's around as well.

Does anyone know if they make magnesium rims in 17x9.5s?

I have a perfect set of mag wheels on my 2001 I am looking to sell. Interested?

**jvd6137** · 07-14-2010, 08:25 AM

I'm looking to get rid of my 2001 mags, only 20k miles on them and in great shape. Interested?

gm/corvette did away with them !!the reason was no one including them, could repair them/repaint.. thats what they said /to many problems, talked to them at the factory [bowling green].. rkvette

**rkvette** · 07-15-2010, 04:18 AM

if you want the lightest /best wheels, go aftermarket !! there are so many good ones, and no problems !! rkvette

I'm selling my original chrome Z06 wheels with the original Goodyears for only $750.00
The tires have about 5k left on them. The rims and tires have never even kissed a curb, perfect condition.
You pay for shipping, if you don't want the tires, I'll pay to have them removed, same price either way...$750.00
Any interested parties can PM me for more info...
Sizes are 275/35-18 and 325/30-19

Shit, that's a good price! If I had something for them to go on I would be buying.

I'm basically giving them away. Replicas are going for $250.00 a piece without tires!

If you're referring to my wheels and tires, then the answer is, unfortunatly, only the fronts would tuck in. The rears would be too wide.
However these WILL fit all generations of the F body.
