Default Does the Z06 come with factory chrome wheels?

Do any 01-04 z06's come with an option chrome wheels? Most that I see have the darker grey color, however from time to time I does see chrome wheels. Are these chrome wheels that are replicas and were put on later or were they actually an option?

No, no wheel options for Z06.

The ones that you see are either aftermarket rims or they had their OEM Gray wheels polished or chromed.

There are companies that will chrome the factory wheels. You can get OEM chrome wheels from these companies and know the structure of the wheel is at least consistent OEM quality. Then there are totally after market chrome wheels made from the bottom up by aftermarket companies. These wheels are of questionable quality....not saying they are bad just not OEM. You will rarely see any car come with factory chrome wheels due to brake dust causing rust.

BTW, the 04 Commemorative Edition did come with a polished ZO6 wheel that looked damn good......didn't have the super shine like chrome but was definitely livelier than the regular grey ones.

Forgot about all about those. They didnt look clean like yous aid. Almost like they were put on the car after a winter season. Sorta faded.
