Do these look like OEM factory wheels? Owner said yes but I doubt it
As price was low

Post up a pic of the inside of the hub...directly behind the area of the corvette logo in the center. It will say SPEEDLINE ITALY there.

At the bottom of this pic, you can see those words cast into the wheel. Anything painted on the wheel is meaningless.

Not sure but those stamps may be for inventory purposes by a used wheel seller. I purchased a wheel with similar markings last year.

Not that I need the set could use maybe one but he is selling the set of 4 for $700. I really think it's not real as there are 12 pix but none of the backside. He is claiming new. I'll pass on this but it's on eBay with the chrome covers included if anyone is interested

It's funny that with all those pictures, he didn't get the one that would show who made them. $700 is not too cheap for oem wheels though.

New OEM front wheels from house of wheels is $325 each in chrome the tears would be more so $700 for a set - he is claiming on an email he sent me that this is in new condition. The chrome center caps must cost at least $25 min each so if it is factory it would be worth it but I asked him about the back saying Italy and he did not answer.no pictures of the back is a red flag for me

the wheels from house of wheels are usually not new but they are a nice wheel.they are the painted wheels that have been chromed and usually they wont have Speedline stamped in them.GM had different companies manufacturing them,new from a GM dealer may set you back as much as $850. each.I cant say for sure if these are Speedlines unless seller provides picture of rear.the factory chrome center caps are quite a bit more than $25. each

The factory chrome center caps for the QX3 wheels are almost $100 each from GM.

Correction, Cultrag has the wheel at $805 each and the center caps at $110 each. If those are factory QX3s, you should get them.

The owner sent me a picture of the back showing the correct markings. I think that these were rechromed . Seems like a great price but I'll pass it's the OEM wheel for sure
