Not OEM, houseofwheels used to sell them. A friend has them on his typhoon. They are pretty nice looking in person nothing flashy but different.

These are close but not the same style obviously but maybe give them a call and see if they offer it for the style your looking for?

Soaked them with purple power, got a good wired brush and scrubbed the hell out of them, pressure washed them off and sprayed purple power tire shine on them. I do it with all my cars.

People looking for them will appreciate them. Try to sell them on Corvetteforum. Then you can get some black ones.

Yep. Just make sure you don't scratch your wheels!! Even when the tire shine wears off the tires will still look good.

Not rare.

OEM Z06 wheels were gunmetal.
