Default Does Z51 Option use standard C6 wheels

I'm looking at a set of chrome stock 07 wheels for my 06. The 06 has the Z51 option. Can I assume that C6 base wheels are used with the Z51 option? I did a search and was unable to find a definitive answer.

Yes, all the same until you get into Z06, GS and ZR1.

However, do they have tires and sensors mounted? If so, the tires are different!!!

If the wheels still have the OE Z51 tires, they will be the Goodyear F1 Supercar tires. They're a little softer compound and generally don't get as good tire life as the ones on the base car.

Of course, you can put any tire on that you want when you run them smooth!!!

The tire pressure sensors are the same for 2005-2009 C6's, so all you'll have to do is get them programmed into your TPMS computer memory when you install the new wheels.
