Are those factory rims or reproduction?

Makes your car look like a Z16 without the stripes (that's not a bad thing).

Thanks for all your responses, I will resize the pics today. The wheels are chrome replica rims (from what I could tell) that have seen there last days. The chrome is chipping and peeling, I've never seen a set of chrome rims do this, until now.

Just wondering, is there a way to determine if the rims are aftermarket or polished or chromed OEM Z06 rims.

The car was waxed from the dealer back in November and I have just used water and a micro fiber cloth to clean the car. I did however use some Maguire's NTX about a month ago, and its been hand washed twice since. For the rims, i used FLITZ.
