To be very honest - I doubt that either set is a factory O.E.M wheel. My reason for saying that is that the emblem on the center caps is not O.E.M. The factory Z06 emblem had a black and white checkered flag on the left (as you face it) and the red and white Chevrolet Fluer de Lis and the bow tie...just like your factory C5 emblem. The wheels pictured had two checkered flags - and for that matter, so did the C6 wheels. If they are factory wheels - then the emblems will be correct.
There is nothing wrong with aftermarket wheels - I just am very suspicious when the Ebay listing is mis-leading. They might be very nice wheels that you could buy at a good price - just don't misrepresent them for what they are. Maybe the Ebay seller doesn't know any better - to give them the benefit of the doubt.
You could purchase the same wheels from Bob's House of Wheels (forum supporting vendor) or Corvette Garage, West Coast Corvettes, or any of the other many fine vendors that support the Forum - and they will not mis-represent the wheels, and will stand behind what they've sold you. Good luck!
