Looking to trade off my 2000 factory polished wheels. They are 17s in the front and 18s in the rear. Tires are in good shape. peeling off in a few places on the wheel but still looks good. I would leave them alone but to be perfect you will need refinished in a few places but look great the way they are. I am wanting to trade for a set of black wheels. My car is black and just wanting a different look. Sorry for the inadequate photos but my good camera is down.

Hey fellow CF Member, the factory did not offer chrome thinspokes. Yours are polished, not chrome. They look real nice though. They should bring close to $600 for the set, maybe more.


The peeling is the coating coming off. No big deal to correct.

Trace18101

Thanks bud for the heads up. I was just assuming they were chrome!! I just showed my ignorance lol but thanks again for your help

Might also add that these are the polished magnesium wheels....not aluminum. They were a 3k option when new!

Trace18101

Again thank you!!

You are welcome. Many years ago I had a blast posting a thread that was claiming chromed factory thinspokes. They were actually aftermarket chromed wheels. The way I worded the thread was beat to death. It was a blast. If I can find it I will post it here:

Yeah this is my first vette so I am learning on the fly and this forum has been nothing but helpful. A bunch of respectable people here and it's a pleasure to be part of this group. Everyone has been very helpful.

Guess my thread I mentioned is to far gone, just tried to find it. Most of the players here are great people! Honest questions are mostly met by honest answers here!

THE NONRULES AND WHYLAWS

SECTION ONE – THE NONRULES



1. There are no Rules!
2. See nonrule number 1.


SECTION TWO – THE WHYLAWS

1. The Whylaws are not needed but since they are required for some unknown reason we have agreed to not have the following:
a. No one shall be excluded from nonmembership unless they don’t own a Corvette, know someone who does, never wants to own one, or thinks that Corvettes suck.
b. Dues will not be accepted at any time! If you feel the need to buy something, buy a beer, lunch, dinner or a very expensive mod for another nonmember.
c. Compliments on a nonmember’s Vette are encouraged but not required unless you are trying to trick another nonmember into complying with 1.b. above. Then it might be a good idea.
d. Trash talking on the Corvette Forum, in person, or on any other semi-acceptable form of communication is very much encouraged, but, not required.
e. Modding of any Corvette is permissible at any time for any reason even if no one understands or agrees with the mod in nonquestion.
f. No votes are considered binding for any reason whatsoever for whatever the vote was taken for because,,,,,no votes can be counted because no voting will be allowed or recognized. See Nonrule number 1.
g. Aspirin is the recommended, but non required drug to ingest before reading further.
h. Non Club Club of Oklahoma nonevents are non sanctioned by anybody, any Body unless the nonmembers nonagree that it is cool to show up or not.
i. A fully nonsanctioned Non Club Club of Oklahoma event is defined as anytime one or more nonmembers do anything while doing that function within 10,000 miles of their Corvette or if the nonmember thinks about their Corvette within three and one half weeks of performing the aforementioned thing they were doing.
j. Any nonmember can be identified as driving or parking any Vette as either really clean or really filthy or anywhere in between at anytime unless it is real dark. Then, and only then, unless nobody cares or notices, can such identification and description be a matter of discussion or not.
k. Photographic evidence of Mods are encouraged but not required unless a nonmember throws the smiley face with the BS flag, either in person or on the Corvette Forum or other acceptable communication forum. In case of the noncompliance with this whylaw, nothing will be done, maybe.
l. Street Racing is Officially discouraged and will not be tolerated,,,,but will be graded.
m. At NO Time shall any nonmember not belong to the Non Club Club of Oklahoma unless at that time the nonmember secretly needs to not belong in order to save his or her life, or, get laid.
n. Ricer owners SUCK! Mostly.
o. Nonsanctioned Nonevents don’t count unless any nonmember wants them to, or not.
p. Never, and WE mean NEVER does any nonmember EVER,,,,,,, NEVERMIND!
q. Damn, we are only on q. Well we don’t like q. Or do we?
r. All attempts to increase RWHP or RWTQ are encouraged. But non required,,,,yeah right.
s. Pictures of Non Club Club of Oklahoma NonEvents are Nonsanctioned and cannot be sold, reproduced, copied, edited or given away without the expressed written consent of the pictured nonmember’s car or nonmember. Or not.
t. Really BAD pics can cause death or bodily harm to be inflicted on the photographer by a nonvote of the entire nonmembership.
u. Really tacky, drunken, sober, ugly or any where in between behavior will be noticed.
v. All nonmembers are nonrequired to have on their person or in their console enough quarters to wash their Vette just in case it needs it! Or not.
w. Nonmembers can never renounce their nonmembership unless they don’t have a Vette anymore, pledge to never own a Vette ever again, buy a RICER or decide to purchase a Ugo. In which case a special Non Club Club of Oklahoma nonmeeting will not be called to not decide whether or not the nonmember should lose his or her nonmembership status.
x. In no way should nonmembership in the Non Club Club of Oklahoma be considered as an accomplishment of any kind.
y. In no way should nonmembership in the Non Club Club of Oklahoma be considered as anything to be ashamed of. Unless, (see m. above) then it’s cool, or maybe just excusable.
z. Finally. See Below*

• Nothing on the previous pages means anything at all,,,,,,,,,,unless you want it to, and in that case don’t tell anyone because they won’t or shouldn’t care.

Hey Trace,
Just remembered that I have a set of OEM silver painted 5 spoke alloys that are exactly the same size as yours. They could easily be powdercoated. Very low mile, very clean and cheap. Just an option for you if you end up selling instead of trading.

Trace18101

Price??

Trace18101

Well let me see what is offered first and then we can go from there. But I'll keep it in mind

Check the market out before you give them away!

Trace18101

To be honest I just about sold them tires and all for 400 bucks because I thought they were not worth much. Good thing I backed out lol

jp260z

I agree with the SB..........$600.00 for your wheels would be a bargain.

Blue 92

Sorry but the pic below is the optional magnesium wheels. This picture doesn't show it very well but the magnesium wheels have a goldish tint to them. What the OP has are the standard wheels.

Trace18101

Now I'm just confused lol but after some research I think you may be right.
