I'll see if i can get him to chime in. I told him that he has a really good thing going if everything is legit. I just received an email from FedEx that the wheels are headed this way and everything is on schedule. I'll keep everyone posted.

Just checked tracking myself and updated delivery is the 28th. I tracked down someone he had sold to months back and he confirmed him as a good seller in his experience. There are oddities in these transactions but as you can see I still refuse to say anything bad about the seller. I'm sure everyone reading this is aware of how much Sickness and I have at stake, but its just too soon to accuse the seller of anything but selling two sets of wheels with one set of pictures and if the wheels arrive as expected for us both no harm no foul. I'll keep the thread updated, I know others are concerned about scammers on these forums. This guy sure has put a lot of work in after getting my money if it is a scam.

I will also be making a seperate thread for my current stock polished SS wheels. They are BRAND NEW take offs, probably only 60 miles on them. Looks like they just came off of the assembly line. The insides are just as clean. Come with centers, valve stems, and TPMS's. Bolt these on and go!

I hope it works out for you. I got the same pics with wet wheels. We had a deal done and i was going to paypal him the money last friday. All of the sudden he says someone else bought the wheels when we had a deal already done. Shady guy for sure and did not stick to his word on our deal

You might want to save the stock wheels and tires to drive on when temps are below 40°F. The ZL1/1LE wheels and tires are not supposed to be driven on below 40°F. That's what I'm doing. Plus when I store my car for the winter I can store it on the stock wheels/tires instead of worrying about creating flat spots in my GY tires. You already have the wheels so it doesn't cost you anything to keep them. And if you ever trade the car or sell it you can keep the black wheels for the newer car or sell them and make your money back on them. Just my $0.02.

Thanks for the heads up. If i dont get many bites when i put the stock wheels up forsale, i might just keep them. I don't drive the car when it gets cold and the tires are sitting on thick rubber pads. I've never had any problems with any of my other cars that have the same rubber compound. This is one car I'll never trade or sell, especially after install the supercharger, love this thing!

The wheels cant be driven that low of temp as well? I heard of the tires but this is news to me.

Silver-SS · 12-27-2012, 10:13 PM

Mine are also scheduled to show up tomorrow. Hoping for the best. Funny enough I too will be selling my polished wheels if this goes through. Although mine have about 9k highway miles on them, but I think still not scratched. Don't have to worry about the cold or flatspotting down here.

Sorry I really meant just the tires. I'm sure the wheels would be fine. After all they are aluminum.
