With these threads floating around of "not so expensive wheels" that cost $500+ a wheel I figured I'd post mine up.

I paid $560 for all four. :secret:

I got them from the factory thru a buddy.

The wheel is called "slick" and is primarily designed to work on late model vettes. Which worked well for me because I am using C5 brakes.

The rear worked perfect but the front required me to shorten the track width of the C4 suspension(61").


The fiberglass is from a place called Fiberglass Trends out of so-cal.

Those look REALLY nice.. I like em.. Is that the "buddy" price or can anyone get them for that deal?

Oh, and I said the wheels weren't that expensive compared to other three-piece wheels :)

Dont expect $400 wheels to be light..........Buy light and your wallet will be to.

Using the bathroom scale I came up with: 24# front & 28# rear


I weighed them with tires and came up with:

50# front
59# rear


According to the Toyo website the tires weigh:

26# front
31# rear
