yes rears where 18s, and GM never made a chrome C5 Z06 wheel, only way to have a chrome one is to send it off to chrome wheel exchange, so unless it says alcoa or speedline on the back spoke its a fake, just by guessing from the bad pictures you posted they look to be fakes

you are right about them being fake, c5 z's had staggered 265 40 17's in front and 295 35 18's in rear but i believe by 2003 chrome wheels were available, maybe even sooner.

That V6 bird has wider tires than my V8 bird... I feel... Emasculated...

Although, they're Nittos, so they are probably, in reality, narrower than mine anyways...

Yup sorry dude GM never made a chrome or even polished Z06 wheel. Speedline made Z06 wheels for GM and they light grey in color.

wrong again, if you prove to me that they did i will give you my 01 Z06,

01 Z wheels were made by Alcoa
02-04 wheels were made by speedline
04 ONLY- Z16 wheel (polished) made by speedline


there are speedlines and alcoa wheels that are now chrome, but those have been on a car as silver wheels first and then sent off to be chromed, no Z06 from 01-04 was deliverd from the factory with a chrome wheels period.

like i said prove me wrong and come get my Z
