Default Now I've done it... new wheels...

Bit the bullit today... Bought the Black Motorsport Wheels from Tomzwheels. Four, delivered... $714.00
Now... Who has a tire machine in Chicago that is capable of installing the heavy sidewalls of my Miklen Pilot Sports? I'm NOT going back to Tire rack if I can help it........

Zoom - the guys at Discount Tire just down the street from the City Club did a nice job of removing runflats from my C5 oem rims a couple of years ago - no damage to either the rims or the tires. I had them put a set of Goodyear GS-D3s on and e-bayed the runflats. Bob

Good Choice on the wheels... I might be selling my Motorsports they are stock C5 sizes. with the tires, chrome locking lug nuts ect.

I might be going with something new not sure yet.

I posted them months ago and lots of people asked about them but no one put up the dough so I gave up. I saw another post for someone looking for these the other day in C5 parts and posted it in there... Had I known you were looking I would have passed this along to you.

I am selling them for $1300 + Shipping (unless local) FIRM. Which is a great deal. This is mounted, balanced, and I will include the 20 chrome keyed lug nuts with them. I'm looking at doing something different I may go with the same style without rivets as they are alot of work to clean, or chrome C6 Z06's not really sure yet.

BTW I do sell these new, I can get most of the reproduction style wheels including the motorsports ect.

Yes I can get the C6 Z06 in chrome in several sizes.

I do not install them at this time, Send me an e-mail with the sizes you are looking for and I can shoot you a price. If your in IN then you won't have to pay sales tax.
