C7 Protoype wheels?
Anyone recognize these wheels? They are stamped GM. They claim they were designed for the C7 Concept car North American International Auto Show. They are on Fleabay item #: 280518012249

That looks like the ten-spoke wheel that was supposed to be a GM Accessories option for C6. IIRC they appear in painted and high-polished / chrome versions on some 2005 C6 brochures.
Alas, the wheels never came to pass, so far as I know.
(edit) Yeah, I checked my big brochure, and there's a champagne-finish ten-spoke with exactly the same design on the wheels page. It says four finishes available, but doesn't list the others.
That's probably a prototype or pilot-production wheel. It might be out of auto show inventory. Not knowing how many of these wheels were made, or whether that wheel is even fit for road use... and being mislabeled (big surprise) in an auction... I wouldn't touch 'em, even though I think they're pretty damn cool.
