I wasn't aware that Z06 rims fit on ours trucks, they're 5 on 4.75". Do they make a 6 lug or something?
edit: These must be for your TA, huh?

Look chrome plated or polished - with a transparent red powder coat
Any good powder coater can do
Dont think it is anodized - too reflective - and doesnt have the depth.

Black chrome is, was at least, a process they put over chrome to "tint" it to give it that black chrome look. Its been around a Looong time as I used to race bikes for Mongoose and my bike was black chrome. Only bad part is the black chrome would scratch, wear or polish off and look like crap after a while. I hope no days they can powder coat over the chrome for durability.
