Default WTB Z16 Wheels

Looking to purchased polished or bright silver painted Z06 wheels. Would like Z16's but would consider light weight replicas.

I have been looking for a set also. Most of the ones I have found are beat and they want too much money for them. You should have no problem finding painted ones. If you are thinking about polishing them yourself you will need 01 wheels, 02 > cannot be polished but what they do is paint them silver and machine the face, looks pretty good but it is a different look than polished. Good Luck.

Try GMPartsdirect.com over to the left. You can do a search for the part numbers or when I get back to work next week I will send them to you.

From what I recall reading on the forum in the past (can't speak from personal experience), I believe GMdirect will not sell the wheels unless you can prove ownership of a Z16 vehicle itself (Due to the limited production). Don't know if that's still the case (Hopefully not).

They did for a while, but do not require anymore. I have a couple of Z16 vin numbers anyway, but I did not need them. Try it. The last time I checked the price had come down a bit.
