Default 2000 C5 Wheels

Hello Everyone! I’ve read in forum post that 2000 c5’s came with a wheel different that other years. I’m trying to identify if these are of that variety or if they are aftermarket. Any thoughts?

Is GM or Speedline stamped on the back? The Thin spokes were forged in the early 2000s, and they were painted silver. The Speedlines after that were polished.

The center caps tell me they are aftermarket probably heavy wheels

They look just like the ones on my 2000 convertible, except I don’t have the flags on the center cap.

Those appear to be chrome wheels - if so, they could be GM or aftermarket. If GM, there will be a GM logo on the back of one of the spokes. If no logo (or Speedline wording) on them, then they are aftermarket.

BTW, GM did not offer chrome wheels for the C5 from the factory. If they are GM wheels, either the dealer/prior owner had them chromed or they were purchased as part of a chrome wheel exchange from a vendor.

It looks like a stock thin spoke off of a newer C5. The center caps are aftermarket though. I agree to look for markings on the back side of the rim.
