Default C5 Z06 Rims Question

I am trying to figure out of these rims are real or knock off.

They are chrome and they do say speedline on the back of the spoke.

Are they real rims that have been chromed?

If they say Speedline, then they are OEM wheels that have been chromed by an aftermarket company. A few of the major vendors like Eckler's and West Coast Corvette offered a chrome wheel exchange and that could have happened with the set on your car.

Sweet. We took the cell phone and placed it through the spokes and did a backards photograph to check it out.

One of the rocker panels has a crack. I did some reading that it is a common problem. The dealer is really down playing that crack because it is so low. I am guessing it will take a $1000 to fix that.
