Default New ZO6 wheels?

The local chevy dealer has a 2009 ZO6 that has some 10 spoke wheels on it. Are these special order or the new wheel style for the 2009's? I would like to see what these would look like on my ws6.

There's a new ZO6 wheel. I don't think it would look very good as a 17 or 18.

i got to find some for sale first. and you know some corvette owners think there stuff is made of platinum or something. However, the grey wheels would be a good choice. wonder if any aftermarket companies have started making these yet?

These are optional GM "spider" wheels on the 09' Z06's. They can be had in chrome, comp grey, or painted silver I believe. You can get OEM chromies from West Coast Corvettes for the low price of $3695.00! Ouch!

http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/p-1...-outright.aspx

Then you just have to figure out how to run 19x12's out back on an F-body (If any one does it - please post pics!).

I've been watching the vendor postings on a couple of corvette forums for months. No knockoffs available yet but it sounds like they are expecting them any time. I, for one, think they have a lot of potential on an F-body in the right aftermarket sizes. For the right $ they will be my next set of wheels on my 00' SS.

i think they are too widely spaced inbetween the spokes with the fact that they are so thin. i'm not into them, but they may grow on me.

Ive been wanting these for a while... want to step up the wheel size to run a larger brake set up front. Still haven't found them available anywhere.

Even the 5th Gen Camaro is available in that color. The spider wheels are pretty sweet, I wouldn't mind a set powdercoated black
