Default 2000 C5 Wheels

Looking to purchase some used 2000 C5 wheels (5 spoke chrome). How can I tell if they are original Corvette wheels and not aftermarket?

FYI, they must be either aftermarket or chromed later. GM did not offer chrome wheels stock on C5's.

West Coast Corvette has the chrome (plastic) center caps.

Corvette Central has the decals.

(wouldn't it make sense for one vendor to have both?)
