      Sal, I assume these are for your 2006 coupe. The day after I did a museum pickup of my 2006 I curbed a wheel, my bad. I found one on eBay and have not seen any lately.

      Just an FYI. GM put the wheels out to bid to manufacture. The winner of the bid was a US company. That company went out of business during the 2006 model year as I recall. Since the wheels went out to bid, other companies had the specs and the replacement wheel I bought was made in Italy. So, an original wheel could be made in the US or Italy. They are identical, except the markings on the inside that identify the manufacturer.

          Thanks...Yes, it is for my 2006 Coupe base model. The window sticker indicates a set of 5-spoke polished wheels in the sizes I indicated above. For some reason, the original owner of the car replaced these wheels with a set of cheap Z06 chromed wheels. Needless to say, they are flaking, pitted and tarnished. My request doesn't need to be a new wheel. I could be an excellent condition used wheel that was originally on a 2006 C6.
          Any contacts you'd suggest?
          Thanks so much, Harry

                      Sal,

                      I'd post a Wanted ad on the Corvette Forum. It's likely the best place to find them.
