Aftermarket Z16 Wheels?
Does anyone know if aftermarket polished Z16 wheels are sold by any companies. If not, does anyone have a set for sale?

You can buy from House of Wheels. They usually have the orginal Speedline wheels. I am running them now on my 03 Z.

Aren't the polished wheels kind of high maintenance (to keep polished)?

They weren't that rare when I bought mine from Gene at house of wheels.
He had quite a few sets of authentic Speedline polished/clearcoated Z16 wheels about a year ago, so I would give him a shout.
Great choice for wheels btw - I like the look on my Z.

So did GM use the Alcoa wheels instead of the Speedlines for these? I want to get the face of my wheels polished and paint the inside black, kind of like the 35th LE camaro wheel.

You can just send your stockers off to a machine shop to get polished since that what the Z16 wheel is. Personally, I enjoy the clean, subtle, and non-blingy look that GM design the Z06 to be with the comp grey wheels and solid color paint job.
