Difference between stock and replica wheels?
I bought used wheels for my c5. They dont have any chevy badge on them other than the sticker on hubcap. How to figure out whether the wheels are factory or replica?
I weighed them and they weigh 19 pounds without tires.

Factory wheels will have the letters GM, and a part number, cast into the back side of the spikes or hub. Your wheels sound like replicas, based on the the markings that you posted.
