corvette magnesium wheels
Anybody know if there was an option for magnesium wheels on the ZO6? I am not talking about the 5 spoke magnesium wheels. Thanks

Brian,
I have a 2003 Z06 and the only wheel available for the Z06 is made of aluminum.

Sometimes yes, but most of the time they are just misinformed.

Maybe I'm off base but didn't the very early Z06's have a mag wheel option? It didn't make it through the first year. Or maybe I'm on drugs....

Your mind is definitely not gone. I had a chance to buy 1 mag. wheel w/ tire off a Z06. I had no clue what to do with it, so I passed.
Looking at that guy's post, maybe I could have made some serious cash?!!

As far as I am aware , the ZO6 wheels were all made from alum.

I have never seen a Z06 10-spoke wheel in magnesium. The only one I know about is the 5-spoke. If you got one, I wanna see a pic of it.

Sorry I guess I wasn't clear enough-it looks like the guys on the Z06 forum that I used as a reference were incorrect. There doesn't seem to be a 10 spoke (Z06) wheel available in magnesium. I can see that the pic that I posted is not a Z06. Originally Posted by ProTeal55

Yep, that's the wheel I was looking at. I just ASSumed it was a Z06 from the part numbers on the other thread.
I'm not a Corvette guy, so I don't know the nuances of the various models.
