These are what I'm getting on the 03 coupe I'm buying. I really like them and there's not a bit of curb rash on any of them. But am I right that this is a Z06-style aftermarket wheel?
Those are C5 Z06 wheels. Do they have the GM stamp on the wheel? If not then they are replicas. Also, GM never offered a chrome wheel option on the C5, only polished. If these are chrome and have the GM stamp, then someone got them redone.

The GM wheels would be forged while the reproduction wheels are almost all cast wheels.
To possibly clarify, my understanding is that the '01 Z06 wheels are forged (and are commonly referred to as "Alcoa" wheels), while the '02+ wheels are spincast wheels made by Speedline. Some '02 Z06 cars came off the line with Alcoas because, purportedly, the shipment of Speedlines was interrupted due to 9/11 - interesting semi-historical sidenote.

Same wheels I have in my car. Mine are reproductions.
