Which wheels would you prefer....

....of these four choices:

1. Chrome OEM Z06 wheels

2. Polished OEM Z06 wheels

3. Polished CCW 3-Piece Classic Modular STREET Series

4. Polished CCW 1-Piece Forged Aluminum 505A Series

Or else just keep the original stock OEM Z06 wheels.

CCW 505A's are one of the best looking wheels around among thousands of aftermarket wheels. If I could afford any wheel, those would be my top choice.

I have CCW 505A's, so I voted for those.... Ronal Wheels are way too pricey IMO.

When was a OEM CHROME Z06 wheel offered on Z06 from the factory? What year? That's not a stock wheel is it?

Both House of Wheels and WCC carry OEM chromed stock Z06 wheels. They will take your stock Z06 wheels in on trade plus $. Or if you want to keep your original wheels you can purchase them outright. Bob was running a special on them a couple of months ago.

No, chrome Z06 wheels were never offered from GM.
