Z06 Wheel Question
Hey Ya'll,
I need an opinion. Which would you rather have? GM OEM Polished (and Clear Coated) Z06 wheels, or OEM Chrome Z06 wheels? Pros - Cons.
Thanks

I have a Z06 with the stock pewter gray wheels,
I much prefer the polished and clear coated wheels that came standard on the Commemorative edition.

I had Chrome Z06 wheels on mine when I got it and I just could not get used to them. I bought a new set of OEM speedlines and put it back to stock I love the originals but then again I am a sucker for stock.

Neither wheel is "correct" for your car. I have polished thin spokes, like them, but like the two you are talking about. Get what you want, you can't go wrong.
Your welcome for no help.

I think I would rather have the chrome ones - just can't beat the shine of chrome.
