If you want to end the debate on whether they're factory GM or not look on the inside of the spoke. If they're legit, you'll see a GM stamp. If they're generic chrome plated cast replicas (which I believe them to be), they won't have that stamp.
Example of a stamp from this thread.
I sold a set of replicas from my MY99 in 2018-2019 without much headache for $400, but as @Stingroo said, date code 2012 tires will hurt your case.
If you put your car away for storage they're a great item to have on hand to store the car on. I have a set of wagon wheels with Goodyear EMTs from like 2002 I use to store the car on so I can properly store my summer tires.

Well they are factory wheels. Here's a pic of the stamping on the inside of the spoke.

Mine are '99 chrome wagons and dealers personal C5, the dealer-owner, had chromed when on the 1999 showroom floor in South Dakota.... Seems they're thick chrome plate, smooth and very shiny with no scoffs or abrasions... The C5 "chromies" y'all hate, I know, but I don't!!!.. and I keep em clean and waxed with Meguiars... Some day they gonna be desired big time... You gonna have to pry them from my cold dead hands cause they are "my precious, my precious" 😠
