Z06 factory chrome wheels???

Does anyone know if GM ever put factory chrome Z06 wheels on any car. My neighbor bought a set and I can't find GM stamped on them anywhere.

Thanks

There are no OEM chrome C-5/Z-06 wheels. Some folks have the OEMs chromed by aftermarket vendors, but it sounds like these would reproductions. The OEM '04 polished Z-16 wheels are only C-5/Z-06 wheels that were anything but grey/argent finish.

If they are GM Speedline ( 2002-04) or Alcoa (2001) Z 06 wheels, they will have the stampings on the inner sides of the wheels... on the spokes.

2 other local guys in one thread...

Like the other guys said...either reproduction or they're polished and not chrome.

If they were polished OEM wheels, they'd have the markings on the back of the spoke. OP said no markings found. Definitely reproduction wheels.

I've got a set, GM stamped on he spoke, so I imagine one of the previous 2 owners had them chromed....

Side, anyone have a place the recommend for new center caps? Chromed of course, 2 of mine have spider cracks in them
