Default Help identifying rims

Hey guys, I came across these times which the seller didn't have very much information about but was told they were stock C5 rims. I don't know very much about C5s but these seemed a little bit different than the stock ones I've seen in pictures. does anyone know if these are stock, knock off, or other? any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Look's like early C6 painted (2005-2007) reproduction wheel based on the center cap.

Thank you for the information! I think they are as well. I was a little confused because they are 17s in the front and 18s on the rear like the C5s but the rims looked more like the C6s. I ended up buying them because they were so cheap ($100 for all four with tires) and only have one small scratch on one of them. Thank you again for the help!

They certainly are not stock wheels from a C5.

If you got four rims with four tires for $100 you got a great deal no matter what kind of manufacturer made them. I paid nearly $500 for ONE rear TIRE on my 02
