I suggest you both make your best offers for the tires and for the wheels and with a small deposit (to my PayPal acct, I don't want to take the full 3% PayPal hit) from each of you then I will dismount and then sell them separately. Final payment would be made via a cert check.

The CCW wheels are my backup set, they had tires mounted and were bolted on the car for a car show. The Michelin tires have never had weight on them nor seen mile 1 of use !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What planet are you from anyway?

And why are you trying to rain on my parade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who asked for or needs your inconsiderate and uneducated comments anyway?
why so defensive? I simply asked because the wheels do look used from the pics but in very good condition...you did list NEW so I was asking a simple question...

I apologize if you were offended, it was not intentional by any means and I am sorry..... I WAS actually going to give you an offer

If you did a quick check of previous posts I'm sure you would find that Buzz is a very reputable guy. If you were an honest racer trying to budget your car, parts, and program you might be offended when someone questioned you about your for sale post when the info was already there.

They look like a great set of new wheels at a good price. Swallow your ego. If you want or need wheels like this pm Buzz and make a deal. If you don't want them just move on.

There is a whole lot more room in the fenderwells of a C6 vs a C5 so I cannot see why they would not fit perfectly. I have seen them on other C6's. But I have never personally fit them up on a C6. Call CCW and ask them to be sure.

I believe not, I may be wrong.

Regular C6 and Z06 offsets are different. I don't think you can put a C6 wheel on a Z06.

Again, I may be wrong. Can someone that knows please chime in.

As far as calling CCW - they should know if a C6 offset will fit a Z06 properly. They will probably need a little more information from the seller on what wheels he has. I am pretty sure they make Corsair C14's in may different offsets.

I have interest if we can establish they are the correct offsets for a C6 Z06 and a price adjustment.

You can call John Purner at CCW Wheels in Daytona Beach, FL and ask him if they fit a C6 ZO6. Tell him these are Buzz Fyhrie's wheels. He knows me. Or I'll call him on Monday and let you know what he said.

These are what he recommended. I did not specify an offset so I'm guessing they are his standard Corvette big wheel / big brake caliper setup / offset.

No, it's an old 1998 C5 Coupe with the bolt-on fender flares. Here are some pics.

I'll call him Monday. I don't mean to come across negative but I want to make sure they fit a C6 Z06.

New at $1600.00 plus freight from Michelin. If I dismount them then there are lots of potential candidates. What is your best offer?

Been mad busy at work...

I need to follow up with John on the offsets. I assumed from your posting they were originally purchased for a C5 Z06, so I don't think those offsets will work for me (C6 Z06).

I will pm you once I speak to John
