I just priced these wheels (Z50 Chrome (not the black chrome)with Corvette Logo) at my local Sears Auto Center, which is an American Racing dealer. They quoted me just under $3200 for the set...ON SALE! Way too rich for my tastes (or should I say my wallet)! Bummer, because I like them a lot. The only other wheels out there that I really love the look of (actually more than the Z50's) are the new Imola "Design 22" (imolawheels.com). I saw them on a Z06 in an ad and they look awesome. Theyr'e probably just as expensive as the Z50's (if not more so) and, unlike the Z50's, they don't come in stock C5 sizes...only available in 19 or 20 inch. So, I'm assuming that's a problem. They told me they fit though. Not sure how that works or what the negatives are to throwing on different than stock sized wheels....or if there is a way around those negatives? Just thought I'd toss all that out there. Stay safe...
