Default Wheel change for 2003 ZO6?

I am ording my 2003 ZO6 next month and wondering if the wheels have been changed. Buying the aftermarket wheels in chrome of corse! Buying aftermarket hood, and exhaust right away. Doubt if they would change the hood and exhaust but would like to have info on changeing the wheels before I buy them now. The color is going to be black! (Once you've had black you don't go back!) Thanks! :chevy

Are you going to be getting the special editions option 427 TT engine with that order? Of course that's extra $, but would be nice addition.

hahaha. I had black, and hated it. If it wasn't freshly washed, it drove me crazy, because it never looked clean. If it's a daily driver (which I doubt most Z06s are), I'd stay AWAY from black.

'01 wheels were forged, then the '02 wheels were spun-cast, to save weight. To save weight in '03, the wheels will be made of high-strength cardboard, with chrome finish as an option. :jester

to really save some weight, just eliminate the wheels. maybe put some skis on the bottom.
