Re: Z06 wheels (ZAP)
If you're talking about the 10-spoke design seen on the current production Z06 cars, here are the varieties that I know of:
1) production 17x9.5/18x10.5 painted grey
2) chromed production (same dimensions as above but chromed)
The 2002 wheels are different from the 2001 wheels in how they are manufactured.
If you want/need to save money, you can buy reproduction Z06 wheels. These are always chrome (that I've seen) and to my knowledge come in these sizes:
17x9.5, 17x8.5, 18x10.5, 18x9.5
The two smaller width-sizes are meant for those that want to maintain the stock-wheels/tire width but have the Z06 chrome look.
I have the Z06 chrome repro's in 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 and I love them. If I had it to do over again, I would get 18x9.5 up front but they didn't offer that size back when I was buying.
Good luck!

Re: Z06 wheels (ZAP)
Note that the chrome aftermarket wheels are quite a bit heavier than the OE wheels.
Frankly, if I was going to buy street wheels I'd try to run the same size/offset wheel and tire at all four corners for rotation ease and wear distribution. 10.5" wheels all around would be my choice; I think they fit up front.
