Default Help with a pic.

I posted this in the wheels section but I know this side gets more trafice..
Im tryiing to find some pics of some wheels and I'm not sure what they look like? I know what the Z06 wheel looks like but are these the same and what was different? Will they fit on a standard coupe?
24 HR LeMans edition Z06 wheels off of an '04 Z16

Thanks

Hi kylryn -

The Z16 wheels are the same size as a standard Z06 wheel (17/18).

The only difference is that the Z16 wheels are polished, and they have a specific logo on the center caps.

They will fit on any stock 1997-2004 C5 with no modification.

best regards-

Just to add to what mqqn advised, you can use the wheel center cap from a stock polished OEM thin spoke wheel, if you don't want the Z16's special logo.

Hi kylryn -

The stock c5 Z06 wheels are metallic grey paint.

Here is a picture of my wifes 99 coupe with my stock Z06 rims installed


and here is a picture of my 02 Z with aftermarket Z06 chromies


and here is a z16 with the polished z05 wheels -


You can buy aftermarket z06 chromies or have factory GM wheels chromed, but they never came from GM that way.

The polished Z16 wheels are very much like chrome, the just don't have the bluish chrome luster.


best regards -
