I've been watching this ad for a few days. The price has been climbing steadily, but it may be a good opportunity for someone looking for these.
Just watch out for the shipping price  |

These are the ones I won, but then the seller tried to bone me on shipping claiming they wanted $185 per wheel. He also cancelled all the bids minutes before the end of the first auction. Buyer beware! |

A friend of mine just had his factory wheels scratched at a tire shop (CTS-V) and they are buying him a new set of rims. He is interested in them until he saw shipping.... |

That's definitely a rip off. I am selling some wheels with tires right now on ebay, I figured the most expensive ups ground charges to be about $150 for all four. Some areas are closer to $100.
You can get those wheels here: http://www.gmaccessories-direct.com/...oducts_id=4476
They are $1755 plus about $25 shipping.
If that guy charges $180 per wheel, the bid going to $1000 would be the same price as the above website. |

Dal gave us a price of $345ish each + $12 shipping each.
Why on earth go anywhere else?
KEY: GET THE SET OF 4 PN NOT THE INDIVIDUAL WHEEL PN! Huge diff on price. ( http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...artnumber=CTSV)
The "17800210" PN is the set of 4. Go to GMPartsDirect.com and check there, then go call Dal and get FAIR shipping prices. That GM Accessories site seems awful steep in price. Remember, everyone pays GM's prices, how much they charge you to buy them from them is a mixed bag. And places like GMPartsDirect.com (That is Flow Chevrolet, not GM direct) charge stupid high shipping and handling prices. Dal charges you actual shipping.

Buyer beware! | If you were the high bidder at $1000 and the buyer failed to complete the auction, you should have filed a complaint with eBay AND, at least, left negative feedback. They neg us buyers but sellers are immune, I guess. The seller lives in Ventura, California. Even if he shipped the wheels to Yankee Stadium, the cost, according to his auction shipping calculator, is $216.28. The optional wheels list at $424.29. GMpartsdirect sells them for $383.01 each/per four with 9.95 S/H for a total of $1541.99. I bought four at my dealer with discount for $360.64 each plus tax, no shipping, total was $1442.56. I couldn't find any other dealer who could beat that price with shipping and deliver other than my local dealer.  |

LMAO--I live in Ventura. Perhaps I can just pick them up then... 
What's truly hilarious is that it was like ~$190 to deliver them to...the same place they basically originated!!   |

Go here http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...umber=17800210
I'm not sure if this was Dal. I thought Lindsay gave this link. I cant seem to save the money. |

Remember, GMPartsDirect is insane for shipping costs (maybe that guy in Ventura works for them!). Dal is reasonable, and only charges actual shipping. I call that fair. |

Buyer beware! | Update: The second posting of this auction ended with the lucky bidder attempting to buy the wheels for $898.88. Want to take bets that he'll actually get them? |

I won the wheels.
I lost the 1st time around (previous listing).
The seller claims the 1st (previous listing) winner was in Canada and that the shipping costs were too high for him.
I will pick the wheels up and pay in person.
I don't anticipate a problem as the seller has good ratings.
We'll see what happens. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
