Interesting thread from 3 and a half years ago.

Funny it was resurrected just now because I’m awaiting the arrival of a set of triple chrome plated Z06-style wheels for my 2016 Z51. It had the silver painted wheels when I bought it but I quickly swapped those out for a set of OEM chromies. I recently got the Z06-style grill installed and to complete the look, I decided to get the matching wheels.

I promise to NOT put any fake Z06 emblems on my car....

Anybody looking to to get a set of oem Z51-style chrome wheels?

When I can afford them next summer, I plan on getting Z06 chrome wheels. Not sire if G M or replica.

GM does not make a Z06-style wheel for anything other than the Z06 or the GS. Their wheels are wider, so if you have a base or Z51 model, you have to opt for the replicas.
