Yes. The thin spokes are fairly light (23 lbs.). Just make sure to get the forged thin spokes. They only came in the 2000 model year and are painted silver. The forged ones are made by Alcoa, the same manufacturer that makes the ZO6 wheels. The forged ones have never shown any cracking issues and if the paint is stripped they polish up really well because the aluminum is extremely dense. You might be paying more for the Alcoa's versus other model year thin spokes, but at least you'll never have to worry about your wheels cracking.
