Default New wheel help

I would like to get some new wheels for my 2016 Z51 Coupe. My car is still in storage for the winter and I would like to verify the wheel sizes. Are the Z51 rims 19”x 8.5” and 20”x10”? Also, does anyone know if there are any US manufactured chrome Z06 style reproduction wheels?

Thanks in advance,
Hank

Hank, your sizes are correct. I don't know of a U.S. manufacturer that makes repo. Z06 wheels, but I will vouch for the China made wheels. I had a set of chrome Z06 repo.'s on my previous '16 base car. After 3 years, and 13K miles the wheels looked good as new. They balanced up easily according to the installer.

BTW, the factory wheels are said to be China made, but I don't remember if that's correct or not.

At the time of this picture those wheels had already been on 2 cross country road trips of 5K+ miles.

The wheels look good. I like the matching calipers and seats.

Look into West Coast Corvette for a selection of wheels. I did and purchased a chrome set for my 2019 G S .

My factory wheels were made in Taiwan you might have to do a lot of searching for American made wheels

Yeah, might be hard to find a US made reproduction wheel. Seems all are done overseas now.
