I have a 2004 CE Z06 Z16.

I have an extra set of stock size tires. I am looking for a set of black wheels in the stock size also.

I do not want to paint my current wheels black, although that might help hide the brake dust. LOL

Any suggestions where to start looking?

Thanks.

The FS / WTB section?

Try some of the forum vendors - Bob at House of Wheels, Ecklers, Mid-America, etc. Or if you want something different than the stock style, there are plenty of vendors that advertise their aftermarket wheels on the forum.

Plastidip? Don't like them? Peel it off.

I think the black wheels make the brake dust look worse. Look at black car after its sit for few days. Least the stock color of the wheels is brake dust color.

Time for a C-5

Definitely don't paint those polished Z16 wheels. If you like the factory Z06 wheels find some used and have them painted or (powder coated) to mount your extra tires.

If you're going to do black, at least make it gloss black.

No way am I painting or dipping my stock wheels, they are staying original.

I do want gloss black wheels.

You do know that dipping them is easily reversible, don't you? It peels right off when you get tired of it. You can now get gloss black dip.

I looked high and low for black Z06 wheels and the best I could come up with were black with machine facing. It seems no one at this time produces plain black Z06 style wheels, so I guess your best bet is find a set and paint them. Good Luck.

Ur not dipping them into anything lol . Its a can you spray em its a rubberized coating if you dont like it peal it off simple as that .It will protect ur wheels that you love so much .

Plasti-dip would be perfect. Protect his wheels and see if he likes the black. And it's a heckuva lot cheaper than new wheels, with the same result.

Thats what i did and i like it .

I DO NOT WANT TO DIP MY WHEELS.

That option is off the table.

My Z06 has black chrome reps...the previous owner bought them out of the US...Sorry, I do not have info on them.

Thanks those look nice.

I guess people don't think you understand what it is. Just trying to help. It will not hurt your wheels in any way, in fact it will protect them and they will look like new black wheels. Chill out.
