Why is it so important for you to have to know the codes.
They only made one style 17" & 18" wheel for the 02 to 03, Z 06's.
If you indeed have stock 03 GM Z06 wheels, the inboard side of each & every spoke will have a marking stamped into them. GM,size of wheel, either 17"x 9.50", (fronts) or 18"x10.50" (rear), Speedline & the other two spokes will have ID code #'s on them.
To be completly stock, they will not be chromed over Speedlines (GM, did not offer that option).

well the whole reason i wanted to know is to see if the shop was going to try and get over on me when they get the wheel....i needed to know how to recognise if it was a factory wheel... also i thought the factory wheel would be more than that but i guess not just keeping the shop in line...lol thanks yall
