Thank you very much! These are the wheels I have. Apparently, these are the Black Aluminum wheel ($495 upgrade). The "frosty" black wheels are standard.
Thanks! Once again, a picture is worth a thousand words (well, maybe a little less!)

Standard Z06 wheels are pearl nickel, a bright silver finish.
The $495 option is for the gloss black wheels.
The $595 option is for the spectra gray wheels which are a very dark gray, almost black paint with some metallic flecks and a gloss clearcoat. The lip is machined.
The $1995 option, well, those are just plain ugly.
There are no matte black wheels available for the C7 Z06 from the factory, yet. They should get on it along with bringing back something like competition gray.

Thank you, nhpln! This is just what I needed! Apparently, I'd gotten a hold of a pic of a flat black ZO6 wheel that was supposedly the $495- option! Looks like I got just what I ordered with my painted black gloss wheels! I'm glad to put this one in the "done" column! Thanks again to all for the help you gave - it's appreciated!

Lol... sooo true! That's why they cost so much less than the UGLY wheels NHPLN refers to?? I'll take my so called ugly wheels as they are classic and have stood the test of time!
