Default Z06 Wheel Spoke Size

Does anyone know if the OEM Chrome Z06 wheel spoke sizes were the same for all C5 Z06 years? GM is telling me that they cannot find the same size spoke as the ones I have on my '03 Z06.

Thanks...David

I don't believe ther were any OEM chrome wheels on the C5 Z06.

How are you measuring spoke?

My '03 Z06 chrome wheels are GM stamped.

I'm asking about the width of the spoke.

Thanks,

David

David,
No Z06 wheels came from the factory chromed. It sounds like your OEM wheels were chromed in the aftermarket. If the back of the wheel says GM, I think you have a model year '01 forged Z06 wheel. Beginning in '02 (with some exceptions), the wheels were spuncast and made by Speedline. The back of the wheel will be stamped Speedline. So it sounds to me like you may be comparing your '01 wheel with the later model Z06 wheel, which may have a very slightly different design.
