help solve a friendly wager

A friend of mine just bought a '03 Z06. It has the OEM Magnesium wheels. We have argued about whether or not these were ever offered as an option on the Z06.

These were NOT offered on the C5Z. These are actually smaller in width that the stock Z wheels. These are same size as the regular C5 rims.

Not only did those wheels not come on a Z06, but GM discontinued offering them long before the Z06 even came out. They were only an expensive option on the first few C5 model years. Originally they cost over $2000 when they first came out, then were dropped to an $800 option so they could get rid of remaining stock. If you liked the look, the only other advantage of the magnesium wheels was that they saved a total of 8 pounds over the stock aluminum wheels. They are fragile and difficult to repair. You might be able to sell them for a decent amount of money on the flea bay site to put towards your better replacements. And like everyone else said, they are smaller than the correct size.
