Default Bronze ZR1's ?

I just traded some wheels for some ZR1's, two of them are silver and two of them are like a gold color....not discolored, just produced this way.....they have not been painted, it is all factory.

My question is Are these rare?
What are two of them worth?
What in the heck did they com on?

To my knowledge, GM never made a ZR1 in any color other than Silver, Black, White or Chrome. Sounds like someone took a silver wheel and had it painted or powdercoated. The gm stamp will still show through even when painted over.

I can just tell that they are factory, these havent been painted....I found a newer style wheel that was a limited editon in gold but not found this type yet....it was like a gold C5 style

I do paintwork myself to so I am sure of that.....but I only have 2 of them, so iono if they are worth much more than a stock zr1

Yea I'm not a corvette guy, yea I like them but I dont study them, that was why I asked about the black wheel!!! And for the newbie comment, definately not a newbie to the hot rod world, I have a garage full!!! I dont spend alot of time on here but I know everything there is to know about an f-body....I have a 2000 ws6, a 1968 SS, 2 2000 SS M6 cars, and a 98 camaro, not counting a silverado truck that will run circles around ur lil 2002 camaro. So yes I didnt appreciate the newbie comment, only new to posting, if I have a simple question I am going to ask it on here!! And for your question about the body shop, it could be possible that they done a really clean job on the wheels, I have not taken mine off to trade the guy yet but when i do I will look closer at them. I am only going to use them to stick a couple nittos I have on them for a while and prolly sell the other two for someone else to do the same. Either way, the wheels arent worth much, this was only a curiosity question as to what i may have ended up with in this trade.

How do you know this? How can you tell that it has 100% not been painted or powdercoated.
