The OEM wheels are usually lighter in weight. They turn up on ebay pretty frequently-also check the Corvette specialists, like Corvette Mike, etc. In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, the OEMs usually look better.

i like the aftermarket polished z06 wheels but the original alloy wheels have a shine to them that is really good, as long as they are kept clean

yea they are lighter...but listen to this. I was on a computer yesterday looking for Z06 wheels and a guy next to me on another computer asked if I had a vette and i told him no i was just looking for the wheels. He said he was looking for aftermarket wheels for his Z06, so I'm buying his '02 Z06 wheels with 9000 miles on them for cheap.

I searched www.corvetteforum.com classifieds until I found a set. I love the OEM Z06 wheels.. the color is perfect.
