I believe these are no longer made, just like the aftermarket 18x12 C5 Z06 wheels. And if you are lucky enough to find them, I'm sure they'll be OEM sizes, nevermind 18/19. Your best is to see if they pop up in the classifieds here, or on the Vette forums. If you've got your heart set on that look, you can just buy the wheels and then have a wheel shop machine the face and paint the inserts like shown.

might be cheaper to just buy some chrome ones and have everything painted or powdercoated black except the face. I just dont know how long that would last, i dont want it peeling.

It can definitely be done. Just look up wheel repair shops in your area, call around and let them you know you've got a set of wheels that are currently painted on the face, but you want to have the face of them machined to the metal and the inserts painted. Then they can just clear it for you, and they'll be just as good or better than any set of wheels you could buy. Its not that big of a deal. If you were in my area, I'd just refer you to my guy.

I called around to about all of the wheel places that used to carry them and they discontinued them. About the only way you'll find them is if somebody is selling them that bought them when they came out a long time ago. Good luck!
