Default 02 chrome wheels

Can someone chime in as to whether an April built Z came from the factory with Z06 style chrome wheels?
I don't see an rpo code for them, owner is getting me service parts label.

Thanks!
Pete

I don't believe any Z06's came from the factory with chrome wheels. I think they are all gunmetal grey. If they are chrome they are probably a chinese knockoff. Here are some examples:

they ALL came only in ARGENT = https://www.google.com/search?q=c5+z...PTZ1nX_5ynW9M:

ALL the rest are either dealer upgrades (they had them chromed as an option to their customers) or after market.

Ahhhh...ok, I thought maybe the original color was gunmetal. At any rate they definitely did not come out in chrome.

Was it '03, or '04 (both?) when the polished spokes were available from the factory?
