Wheel question !!!

How can you be sure you are buying OEM wheels ?
there are allot of reproductions -
is there any identifier on the wheel that ensures u r getting a true OEM
example - GM - Alcoa - Speedline??

thanks

On the Z06 wheels 2002 and up you will find a GM stamp in the back side of the wheel spokes and the part number and the word Speedline.

I think the 2001's just had the GM and the part number. They were forged. The color is a bit different and the angles on the spokes are a little sharper.

Repos should not have any of the above. Don
