You are right they are awesome looking. I wish we still had our Z06 so I could put them on it :-(

I guess my wheels are a little more valuable than I originally thought 
Good luck with the sale, if anyone wants to know what they'd look like on a coupe then check my website

a couple years ago, i tried to get a set w/caps for my black z06, but at that time, the sale was restricted - here's the price (and that included the $300 shipping/handling fee)
:80853 Jun 3, 2004 15335 xxx xxxxxxxxxxxx $1,818.47 Cancelled
as you can see, a little over $1800 (wheels, caps, and s&h)
their shipping seems high, but remember when comparing prices, include s&h -

But if you can get a good deal for tires and wheels shipped on the set on this thread that would be a good deal. Don't know if they are open to offers or not.

The original seller is selling tires also, dont know if this makes it a good deal or not. I have not checked into pricing on these things yet.
But I do know having a spare set setting around would ease my mind a little.

Someone is going to get a great deal on a unique wheel/tire setup. I found a great overview of this tire for potential buyers. Hope this helps.
Nitto Extreme R2
The “R” stands for Race, which means the Nitto NT-555RII Extreme R tire has been developed for road race and autocross competition. Created at the request of Nitto customers, the Extreme R tire combines stiff sidewall construction, Nitto Drag Radial tread pattern, and a specially formulated soft racing tread compound to achieve a competition radial that exhibits impressive control and handling, plus maximum traction under racing conditions. Of course, the Extreme Rs can be used on the street, but because the sidewall construction was designed primarily for competition road racing, you can expect a rougher ride. Like the Extreme ZR, the Extreme R tires are “W” performance rated up to 168 miles-per-hour. A slanted groove and lateral slit pattern encourages water drainage on wet surfaces, while the uni-directional tread allows for high speeds and excellent braking response. Due to the soft compound, the ideal operating temperature of the Extreme R tread surface is between 160 and 220 degrees. Nitto also recommends a 1.5 to negative 3.0 camber setting. However, these settings on the street may produce irregular tire wear.
Peace.
Stephen.
