That's what I was interested in before I bought some ACE Slicks. Unless you can use Z06 sizes you are out of luck. You would have to get some aftermarket black or competition gray ones and then have them powder coated yourself. I almost went that route.

I'm going this route too. I want my C6 to look stock or OEM as possbile but yet still stylish. Corvette Wheels sells them:

Yes, I tried to order them from there but they got back in touch and said that the silver wasn't available in C6 sizes. They apparently have never corrected there website.



***** EDIT: Their website does only show this wheel in the Z06 sizes.

I couldn't find them anywhere in stock C6 sizes so I got competition gray.

Indeed, every finish is available in Z06 and standard C6 sizes except silver, those are only available in Z06 sizes. I would buy a set but I prefer only silver. Hopefully I will be able to eventually find a set of silver GS wheels in standard C6 sizes.....

GTJim, I am a convertible man but that is one nice Z.

Sorry, I doubt that is going to happen either, Apparently the repro industry has determined that there is not enough demand to offer ANY Z06 or GS wheels in C6 sizes and SILVER.

I also inquired about that from the company that is about to offer the GS repros and they said NO SILVER!

That figures, guess my split spokes will have to suffice.

Thanks!!!! You could always get the comp greys and powder coat them to your liking ???

Edit: Corvette Garage has them in Silver, use the drop down box for finish and select silver.

Yes, I stated that in a previous post (about the powder coating).

Jim, keep up. Read some of the previous post.

Sorry in my previous post I said I tried Corvette Wheels.......It WAS actually Corvette Garage.

OK, NOW I'M CONFUSED! I'm going back to my previous statement. I think it was actually Corvette Wheels that I tried to order Silver from.

In any event I do not believe that ANY repro vendor actual sell SILVER Z06 Spyder wheels in C6 sizes no matter what their website says.
