16" SS rims?

Are 16" SS/ZR1 rims stock? If so, what year and model? What are the specs? Thanks in advance

Yes, they came stock on some F-bods. They were 16x8's, just like any other stock wheel. Once in a while you can find them on the For Sale board.

I remember talking to SLP years ago about those rims. I was told that the 16" came on all 96-97 verts because they thought the ride was too stiff if the 17" wheels were used (smaller sidewall). Obviously, GM abandoned that notion in 98.
