Default Question on Wheels

Previous owner switched out for 2001 OEM forged Z06 wheels instead of the factory 2002 wheels what would be the reasoning behind this if any?

There could be 1000000000000 reasons. Possibly personal opinion, maybe he damaged the 01's, and got a good deal on the 02's.

Hi Ty,
Wheel supplier changed to Speedline, moved from forged to cast. Weight nearly identical

Ken
