    Wanted 17x9.5 Z06 wheel prices

    What are you guys paying for OEM Z06 17x9.5 wheels? What's a good price for a pair?

    I'm seeing a few full sets for sale here and there. What's a good price for a full set? Is it easy enough to resll the 18" rears? If so, for how much?

    Thanks

    What I have heard from the guys I asked is $350-$450 with common 4X17 being around $400.

    I too would like a set (... or two)

    Help the lesser speedy out... wheels for the slow... wheels for the slow.

    You could have stayed on 16s and used the 'bling wing' to balance it out.

    And any input on the difference in performance between the 17X9 and 17X9.5 wheels?

    I think GRM did an article and in miata land a 15x9 vs a 15x8 on a 225 tire was supposedly .5 sec lap, ~1:30 course, don't quote me on this.

    $400 for a full set of 17x9.5 alcoa's or Speedlines would be good, in my opinion.
    actually would seem easier to sell the 18's as a set of four than 17's. mostly i seem the 17's as those Y-Body guys going to a square 18" setup.

    Had to, or chose to?

    I thought most of the mustang guys used a "cheap" MB wheel (weapons or battles?) from Discount Tire for about $169 each and are somewhat close to the min weight. (yeah, cheap in quote because it still sucks to spend $700 on a set of wheels)

    Keep in mind third gens have the option to go with something like a CCW $$$ or a CTW wheel $1125 /set if we want something with the correct offset and close to min weight.

    It's either that or go with these cheaper 4th gen/Z06 wheels and ~4lb adapters on each corner. Or stay on 16's and go with an even narrower and shorter tire than the RA1 offerings. So shush you

    I'd say the Z06 with the 4lb spacer would be the hot ticket then...
