Default Anyone recognize these wheels?

I have had no success contacting previous owner and I've looked at like 1000 pictures of wheels. I'm still sorting out the various stock and aftermarket parts on my 99 C5 vert. Anyone recognize these wheels? TIA.

My apologies for my poor photography skills.

Jim

They can also be OE Wheels out of Sarasota Fla. Maybe seen on eBay.

Thanks much, that certainly looks like them.

So how's about these mufflers? Not stock, I think? Maybe just something a muffler shop put together? They really "light up" at anything over about 25% throttle. I like them.

I'd say it is most likely the NXT Step Performance exhaust. The exhaust tips seem to match, and I found a couple of Youtube clips and the exhaust note seems to be the same.

Right it looks like my NXT with the corsa style tips. I've had mine for about 5 years. Sounds great with an x-pipe, quiet when cruising, opens up when on the throttle!

yep, zr1 replicas, I have them on my 97, look great but a pain to clean with all those spooks. Like you, they were on it when I bought it, but the right front was out of round, had to wait for them to produce more before I could replace it.
