ALL factory CE rims were painted. Lots of folks either had theirs chromed/polished, or bought them that way. I have factory rims that have been chromed on my '85. Some people prefer the painted rims, some prefer a lil more bling. Thumbs Up

All 1996 Collector Editions came with painted Sebring Silver wheels.  Get yourself a copy of the Corvette Black Book by Mike Antonick.  It tells you what was what.

    I have the black book also. Looks like QD2 was the wheel option in 1996 for the Collector Edition. I am just unsure if that meant it was a painted wheel or ??? I guess it must be a painted wheel. Mine must have been polished at some point. They are OEM wheels that much I know. Thanks for your help.

    My 96 CE has the exact same wheels so they must be correct or we both own a fluke.

    Believe me, if the factory had offered those wheels polished or chrome the center caps would match.

    Enough said. I am new at owning Corvettes so I can't say my car came from the factory with these wheels on it, I just know that mine has them and they sure look stock to me.

    Hay guys! New to forums, but very old to GM cars! One thing for sure you will always find that odd ball GM car (Corvettes included) that came from the factory with something different on it! Something it was not supposed to have! On the assembly line if they ran out of a particular part it was replaced with what was available to keep the line moving! Wheels were no exception! As a old GM mechanic, it was not unusual to find different parts on cars. ("If it fits...use it!")
