Mine were ordered 2/04 and FedEx tracking says they will be here 2/10. I will be using the Black Stingray center caps. I can't wait to get them on my Torch Red C7....I've never liked the base wheels but couldn't decide on what to replace them with until these hit the market.

Great news....did you buy from DocZ? Which CF vendor did you use?
Actually I bought them from the outfit in Ft. Lauderdale. A transaction while I was driving down the road actually. Very smooth. I actually received them a day sooner than promised.
Another better shot showing wheels. We've been overcast since I had them mounted. Camera cannot capture them very well. They are awesome in my mind.
Am i the only one that doesn't like them? I have seen a couple others post pics with the Z06 wheels and they just don't have the same look as the Z06's. I guess what i'm trying to say is they don't have that staggered look. I wanted to get Z06 reproduction wheels myself but think i'll go in another direction after seeing the way they look.
If you don't like them, that is fine. However, don't say they don't look the same, because they are exact replicas without the Z06 embossing. I have placed them next to each other and there is no variation other than the small embossing.
Just had to clear that up for you so no one is mislead.

Real Z06 wheels look more concave/deeper in the spokes to hub due to the wider wheel and offset. They look flatter in narrowbody configuration. I was just agreeing with the other guy that there's something off about it but if you like it that's all that matters

I for one, who ordered the Z06 Repro wheels am not trying to make my Stingray look like a Z06. You just can't make a base Stingray or Z51 even come close to the exterior appearance of a Z06. The Z06 has it's own special appearance.
I made the purchase because I liked the looks of the wheel on the Z06. I considered other brands, but always came back to this wheel. The quality and price of the reproduction wheel also made a positive force in my decision.
I am retaining my OEM GM Multi 5 spoke (Z51) chrome wheels and non-run flat tires. If I ever want to switch them out, I can do so in 20 minutes time.
There are many aftermarkets wheels, (thousands of them) on the market. I feel when someone chooses to replace the OEM wheels with aftermarket wheels, they become a personal reason for what we ultimately choose.

Front Z06 are 19" x 10" so why would the concave be different.
Big difference for base wheels not as much for Z51.
