GM (made by Speedline) are the ONLY ones that are in the antracite (gunmetal) color.
If you are really deprerate like me, you can go to a dealer that sells new covettes and ask for the expereinced covette salemen. Not that thier are any there or anything. Basically, the guy who has the corvette customers that alway go back to him. Leave him your card of contact info and tell him that you want to buy some take off z06 rims. Many times new corvette owners have new rims installed at the dealer before they even pick thier new car up. (people with money make me sick). Tell him that you are willing to give him $200+cash for a set of rims. Some new owners want the dealer to buy back the stock rims. Normally, the corvette sales guy will buy the rims for 1000 or so themselves and then turn around and sell them to one of his other corvette customers. Expect to pay 1200-1500 for a set though on top of his 200 finders fee. At least that's better than going through the parts department. Corvette salemen do it alot. They make an easy 400-500 bucks doing this out the back door. Also, a set do pop up from time to time on eBay but it's rare.

i'll have to find a dealership that might be willing to do that. Most of the chevy dealerships around here are dick heads though. Does anyone know if I can take the regular silver z06 rims that you can find anywhere and have those powercoated. Thanks guys for all your imput.
