You'd think 1 and maybe 2 would go across an auction block rather than the showroom. Any guess on the markup?

There's already a Chinese company selling exact copies of those bitchin' black wheels and I'm sure body kits will soon follow. Neighbor girl down the street already has them on her V6 Camaro.

Just found this thread:

650K for bragging rights! I suppose there's always another high-roller out there who will buy it from him, perhaps at an auction, at a profit.

I have seen some factory alloy wheels in at the parts counters of some dealerships. Boxed in factory packaging, made in China.

Both of those cars are bad ass, and I like the black wheels. Can't wait to see how they perform on the track. Should be some good shoot outs between the Z and the new Boss and Shelby. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

So, I guess that &quot;real&quot; Z28 owners will now be stocking up on spares, since they will be the only ones allowed to buy them, and then be selling the spare parts on ebay? It will be long after my lifetime before they become anywhere near collectible or in demand. Any doubts, look at all the zero mileage Corvette pace cars that were put away that can still be bought at or below what they originally sold for, still in the original wrapper.

I believe it's known as &quot;unfettered free-market capitalism.&quot;
