Please excuse me while I puke all over myself.

Okay, now, having emtpied the contents of my stomach after viewing those volvo/mercedes inspired, fu**ed-up offset, POS rims, I can tell you that I am unable to identify them.

I am guessing they are a one-off custom rim, they are definitely not factory. In the picture the centre does appear (???) to be a C4 emblem, tho i could be wrong.

On the 2nd pic you can see that the wheels seem to sit in about 1.5 - 2 inches too far.

If this is a forum member, I apologize for insulting your car, but man, those are just FUGLY. Of course, just MHO.

Otherwise the Vette looks like it's in pretty good condition. I like the paint....Whoever buys that should throw on the stock wheels at least....couldnt hurt to get 5-spokes

Vette magazine, March issue 04, page 41, they have no idea who makes these wheels. I hate to say it, but they kind of look like a take off of chrome stockers with big center caps covering the lug nuts.

I think if you find some pictures of a Caddilac Allante, you'll find the manufacturer of those hideous wheels. Also check out mid 80's early 90's Olds Toronados for equally hideous wheels that may have been placed on this car.

...they look to be the wheels sold by Ecklers in the late 80's, early 90's

Pics are terrible, but that is what they are -

Sad, very sad. The car would look great with a set of A-Molds on it, or at least some AFS or OE ZR1's or Grand Sports. JMO
