Those are not OE wheels, pull one off and see what is stamped on the backside.

Mine were something like that. They were Riken Honeycomb wheels. As far as the center cap on yours saying "CHEVROLET", you can buy all kinds of center caps that would fit. I put the 84 Vette black center caps on mine so they would match the color of the wheel.

I don't know what they are, but I know what I like! Very sharp. Almost resemble GTA wheels, but not quite. Congrats on the new vette, and the sweet wheels.

I have a friend that has those wheels but the center is red like the car color. Don't know if they came in that color or if the PO painted them. Not sure bit I think they came from a Firebird.

Epsilon was a high end wheel that was popular back in the late 80s used as an upgrade on C4s. I believe Guldstrand used them on his GS80s. If they are actually a 3 piece wheel they could be Epsilon's. If not then they are one of several "look a likes" from that era.
