C6 Z06 wheels (question for forum)
I looked on google and saw these wheels
C6 Z06 wheels (thin spoke)
They come from factory all chrome right?
I saw one with black inside and just the front of the spokes are chrome....do they come that way from factory?
If I bought a set of all chrome, can a shop paint the areas black to match what I saw online.
This what I can by right now.....
This is what I want to have them painted like?
Does anyone know of some one selling them in black already?

Doug, the C6 Z06 rims DO NOT come in any chrome configuration from the factory...only painted. All the chrome configurations come from aftermarket suppliers. There is a vendor on eBay who will chrome ones existing C6 Z06 rims otherwise you have to buy them outright..hope this helps 
PS: I'm sure they can be painted with the right preparation but maybe powdercoating the barrels black is a better alternative for the long run..ie more resistant to chips

Z06 wheels do not come from the factory chrome. If you found them in chrome they were aftermarket wheels or factory exchange wheels that have been chromed. You can find several alternatives in comp grey, chrome or black machine face wheels from any number of forum vendors.
Bob at house of wheels, the pictures on the website are terrible but he's a good vendor to deal with and has the machine face wheels.

You might look at this site too. Almost bought mine here. Gives you a little on tire/wheel packages. And forum vendor on the left.
