Default What Wheels are these?

The Z06 I purchased earlier this year had these polished wheels on them, however, I cannot find out much about them. They are stock size, and the "beadlock" look around the perimeter is a hex pattern, but have no function. Anyone know anything about them?

Chinese reproductions with fake 3piece fasteners cast into them for “looks”.

If choosing chromed repros, I prefer stock style without the hardware. Cleaner look.

Also judging by the massive wheel gap, looks (to me) like your car could be lowered a couple inches and still look like it needs to be lowered more.

You can lower your car for free using one of the mainly tutorials out there if you search.

Thanks for the quick response. I do plan on lowering this winter, but not sure if I will using stock bolts, new bolts, or a set of coil overs. Note that I'm running C6 Z06 shocks now, so they have a slightly larger gap due to shock body length.

Every one is correct China knowoffs. I had a set on my 2000, they were 18/19's I sold them for $400 and got something different.

Those were sold as c5z “motorsport” wheels, hence the rivets. As noted they are replica castings based off the original c5z forging.

You’ve already got your answer, but just wanted to say I think they look good on your car.
