Default C5 Z06 wheels was chrome an option?

I am interested in a used 2002 Z06. It is for sale at a dealership with only 25000 miles on it, but noticed it as chrome wheels. After checking many pics online I see about half of the Z06s have chrome and half have the silver painted wheels. I prefer the the painted ones. Does anyone know if the chrome was a dealer option or an aftermarket setup? I heard the painted ones are forged and the chromes are not.

They have to be aftermarket, Z06's came either with the Silver or Grey painted colored wheels from the factory.

Thanks. The only thing I know is that they are the staggered wheels sizes, 17" in f and 18" in r. All the cheap chrome reproduction wheels sets are not staggered, all 17". Maybe they got sent out to be chromed.

He's talking about the 2004 Commemorative Edition Z06's, they were the only C5 Z06's with polished wheels.
