Are these genuine OEM Speedlines from a C5Z?
I searched threads but the results varied any help would be greatly appreciated.

"GM", "Speedline" and the wheel size are stamped on the rear of the spokes

Look correct to me. never seen or heard of a aftermarket replica stamped Speedline on them. I would say they are the real deal. the tires are correct as well 265f/295r GY F1 Supercars. I would definatly ditch the tires especially if they are the ORIGINAL from a 01-04Z06.

This is what the back of my Thinspokes look like...

Speedline is a manufacturer, not sure if they ever made any Corvette wheels for sale direct (not through GM)? Been looking for another set of Speedline Thinspokes like what I have for years - no luck yet.
