I've had them on both a C5 Coupe and a C6 narrow bodied coupe and they were fine.

A long time ago I had OE Wheels (if that's the co. in Sarasota) on another Corvette. Questioned the owner extensively since there were untrue allegations that the wheels were inferior. Was a good co. then, and I've read they're still the same.

Edit: that said, read very carefully and follow the instructions on how to use the wheels when you first get them in the event there's an issue and you want to return one. the usual practice now is to have a shop spin the wheel WITHOUT a tire on it to see if it's true, and no lateral wobble aka runout. (see: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...fications.html)
