Bought the car used, so don't really know.

Not a stock center cap - they are grey plastic. Wheels look like chromed wagons, whether original or aftermarket, can't say from this pic.

You might be right. There may be different caps. I don't know.

That's a stock wagon wheel center cap but that's not how they came stock. Stock they were a silver plastic with a faux carbon -styled trim ring insert with gray-ish C5 logo. What you have there is a custom altered wagon wheel, center cap, and custom insert on the center cap. The inserts themselves on the wagon wheel's center caps are interchangeable, and the one that you posted a picture of is an aftermarket insert that I believe is no longer made.

You can easily find a wagon wheel center cap assembly with the OEM -styled insert, but finding one with that matching insert that's full faux carbon fiber may be difficult.

The center cap pictured by the OP is not a stock center cap. It is an aftermarket brand, but unfortunately I have not been able to find where it may have came from.

The stock cap looked like this: https://www.mamotorworks.com/Corvett...el-gm-603269-1
