Default Zr1 Wheel Question

Hi. I am currently looking at purchasing wheels from a local guy and don't know if they are oem or replicas. I have searched on this site and I have seen some pictures but the wheels the guy is selling don't match. On the other hand there is a GM stamp on the lip of these wheels which make me think they are Oem. All help is appreciated.

This is what they look like:

They do appear to be GM ZR1 "style" wheels but they are most likely not for a C4 ZR-1. The offsets for ZR-1's are different than those on Camaros and other GM vehicles.

They should have this symbol on them and I would think a part #

Thanks for the info guys. I haven't seen them in person yet, but plan on doing so and measuring the backspacing. The guys is asking $600 for the set with tires so I figured depending on offset that was a good deal.

Real ZR-1 spec'd wheels will be cast 10214047 & 10214046 as well as the offset on another spoke. The "JWL" certification will be in the second window clockwise from the valve stem on all Corvette ZR-1 "style" wheels regardless of width and offset.

Anything without the "JWL" is a replica (no exceptions).

A wheel that is cast with a "GM" on it is likely a 9" Camaro wheel and there's maybe 2 versions of them, 1-OE on cars and another that was sold in "sets" as an accessory by the dealer.
