Just got my new OEM Pearl Nickel 10 Blade Wheels put on today! I like the contrast of these wheels with the blue paint much better than the gloss black. The other things I like about these wheels is they're going to be way easier to keep clean than the 20 spoke OEM wheels and I'm pretty sure I won't see any of these on other Z06's out here in Colorado! Can't wait for the car show season to start! Oh and I'm sure people will want to know the cost. So I bought these from Cultrag Performance for $2400 shipped in a Labor day sale, which is 35% off regular GM price, which includes center caps. Yea I know not cheap, but they had the lowest price that I had seen at the time.
Rims look nice man Now the Z says put him back into the garage. Robert
Yea I hear you about getting the Z back in the garage. Got dumped on Sunday for the first time right when the wheels arrived. I went for it today to get them installed as most of the roads were clear.
I too really like the perl wheels instead of the black. It’s most likely my age. Growing up all the “cool” cars had custom wheels that added to the appearance of the vehicle. Cars with black wheels, regarless of stock or aftermarket were for those folks that had no money for custom. They just look cheap, cheap, cheap. Unfortunately the flat or matte finish paint/wraps look like primer, again for folks too cheap to get a paint job. “Different strokes for different folks.”
Love them. Plan on ordering them when I order my 19 Z07 for museum delivery.$1400 option.
Yea I noticed they came way down on the price of the option in 2018. It used to be $3700 in 2015-2017. But if you buy them directly from GM, you're going to pay a lot more. But that's always been the case with GM parts. So if you can order it as an option, that's definitely the way to go.

Love the new wheels. They come on the spice package for the Z as well as the blue package (cannot remember what that ones called). Makes your car look so much better! Money well spent.
My first choice of wheel when I went looking for my 2017. Got close with chrome, definitely did not want black on a WGG. I don't really like the black z06 wheels and they must be a major pita to clean. You made the right choice.
Funny thing is I didn't know anything about these wheels being an OEM option as I bought my car used. I saw a set on EBAY that had been black chromed and liked them, but not for $3800. I did some searching on the forum and found out what they were. One guy had a set on his car that he posted pics of. Then I began searching for the best price. Seems like they are a well kept secret, because you virtually never see Z06's with them on them on the forum or on the road. Now that they've dropped the price as an option, you'll probably see more of them. All the comments so far are very positive which I'm not surprised at as they certainly got my attention when I first saw them.

twilight blue design package mine is 1 of only 8 in shark gray ever produced. Love having the only one at every show. OP. Those wheels were the requirement when I went shopping for a 3LZ Last year.. and my buddy too!

16/C7Z, it was your post that helped me unravel the mystery of what these wheels are! Thank you for that. As far as being the only one at shows with these wheels is my thinking exactly. The secret my be out now judging by the response so far as I have a feeling many more people may be ordering these wheels as an option or from GM as I did.

Custom gold rims looks like pimp rides in the 70's.

It's a nice option, especially now since they reduced the price and/or they no longer offer the Spice Red/Twilight Blue package requirements. Amazing however how many salesman don't know about the wheels. I was window shopping earlier and wanted to see these wheels in person and the sales rep kept telling me there are no options besides the finish for the Z06. The Stingray only has a secondary wheel option.
