Default Chrome Wheels?

I assume chrome wheels are an option on the Z06. Some have them some don't. I am considering selling my coupe and getting a Z but don't like the grey magnesium wheels i have seen on a lot of Z's.

They were not an option from GM. You can get a set from one of our friendly vendors for about $1200.00. Also, some take your wheels in on trade for about $750.00

Also - high polish aluminum wheels were standard on the Z16 Z06 for 2004 (the LeMans Blue commemrative model). Are you confusing the high polish for chrome?

As Redzone stated - you can purcahse aftermarket chrome wheels from several different vendors, as well as the Z06 Motorsports (similar design but with the allen head screws around the rim).

Z06 Chromies are in my opinion the best of the stock wheels.

Chrome wheels did not come from the factory. You can have the OE wheels chromed or buy some aftermarket ones. I sure like my aftermarket ones.
