Chrome is aftermarket. In 2004, the Z16 package included polished z06 wheels. Maybe he can look into those.

You could get C5 Z06's from dealerships with chromed factory wheels. However, they didn't come that way from GM, the dealership would have had them chromed. There's plenty of chromed OEM Z06 wheels floating around. I bought a used set off of the forum. You can also buy them from Bob @ House of Wheels (forum sponsor). They are only a little bit heavier than the stockers too which is really nice to have such a light weight wheel thats chrome.
