Do anyone know the difference between the OEM and aftermarket Z51 machine faced wheels? I want to pick up a set but can’t find OEM. There are lots of aftermarkets sets out there. Any recommendations?

Check with a vendor like House of Wheels or Florida Speed Shop. Both have excellent reputations on the forum and carry a wide selection of wheels, both OEM and reproduction.
There may also be other forum vendors that sell wheels that can help you out.
Perhaps, more of a long-shot than with other styles, but watching the Parts for Sale section here might turn up something. Even if you had to get all black and polish or have the edges polished, it might present an option.
Check the weights and compare aftermarket with OEMs, even if they appear alike. They may be fine, but I've had friends buy aftermarket knockoffs for other brands and they were incredibly heavy. All the best!
