How to tell if you have the real deal?

[andyda98]

I am buying these 17 inch rims, and just wondering if there is any way to tell if they are from GM or some after market. On the back side it had I believe a 56 off set and OE wheel, their were other numbers on but didn't bother to write them down. I tried to look around online but didn't come up with any thing such as casting numbers are such.

Any help you can give would be helpful.

Might be from OEwheels.com, are all 4 17's or staggered at all? I don't think actual Z06 were 17's and I know they were staggered and the vette symbol in the middle looks iffy to me also. Good wheels though! They'll go great with your Formula, I still wanna get gunmetal wheels for my silver TA. I think the silver will look good with gunmetal wheels, kinda a mean look to it.


Edit: Just looked it up and Z06 wheels are 17x9.5 54mm offset up front and 18x10.5 rear 58mm offset

Look for the GM stamp and Alcoa/Speedline on the back of the spokes.

OE Wheels would be aftermarket.

Sounds like a set of OEWheels to me. The offset matches the wheels they sell and the stamp on the inside could only be from them.

Good point there. They usually leave off the part where the Chevy logo is located on the emblem which would be the right side.

If you are asking if that is a good deal you can buy a brand new set for $468. The only difference is they have rivets and have a stainless lip.

Not bad. Just note that wheel has been discontinued so if you ever need a replacement it might be hard to find one.
