2000-2004 C5 Rims Question
I am looking at a 2001 C5 for sale and noticed it does not have the logos on its rims. It appears to have the optional high gloss rims, rather than the stock aluminum rims or Z06 Speedline rims. Are the logos stickers or are they painted on or engraved into the center caps? Thanks for any answers in advance.

For the coupe/vert, the center cap logo is not engraved. It appears to be some kind of a decal overlay on top of the smooth surface. That is just how it appears to me.
If you want to add logos, there may be some forum vendors that have decals that will work. Check with local sign shops too - I had some made for the ‘03 I used to own.

I'm not sure if they're decals or painted on. Center caps are surprisingly expensive. However, you can find some reasonable replacements as well as decals that would work on eBay.

I bought reproduction wheels for a 2000 convertible from Ecklers and they did not come with emblems on the centercaps. I used these from Zip Corvette: https://www.zip-corvette.com/00-04-w...in-x-85in.html
It's a raised decal, not like a flat sticker. The instructions referenced a plastic cleaner/primer but I didn't need that. I don't have a photo of them installed.
