Default Anyone ever seen these?

Never heard of Lenso, but it's stamped on the inside. Pulled them off to put my z06 wheels on. The other pics are just other stamped markings. That wheel was the rear which I'm guessing was an 18x10.

I've never heard of them, but not a bad looking wheel.

Yeah that's why I took them off. Not my cup of tea.

I've not heard of that company, but the wheel is not bad looking. Like you though, not sure I would want them on a C5.

I think those are actually wheels intended for the Chevy SSR.

I think I saw a set just like that for sale on LS1 tech awhile ago that said they were taken off an SSR.

Don't know if the wheels in these pictures are an exact match.. but they do look close.

Default Argus

I believe that wheel is the Lenso Argus. Do a quick image search on Google and compare. Best I can tell it was for cars across the pond. Guessing they were a Europe spec wheel and someone just fit Chevy center caps on it, or they were made for an European model?

Either way, not very appealing for a C5, good choice to remove them.
