I'm pretty sure this is a C6 wheel based on the Corvette script. It is a 19x10 GM Speedline in gloss black. I need to know exactly what it is before I advertise it for sale. I got it with a batch of C6/C7 parts. Thanks for all assistance.

OEM Speedline in Gloss Black...………. more than likely a front from a 19 & 20" set...……….. would need to measure the offset to be 100% certain

Nope, centennial wheels are satin, not gloss. This is either a reproduction, or possibly a c6 version - not sure if the c7 gs offers them in gloss black.

Pretty sure you can get these in gloss black on a C7 Grand Sport. Will fit a C6 wide-body also.

I have photos of the backside. I'll post them tonight if it will help. I did see the GM stamp and the Speedline stamp. Also has a Mexico stamp and the 19x10J40 stamp. There is a PN that I tried to cross reference but nothing comes up. I'll post the number when I get a chance to look at the wheel again. Trying to determine if it's a C6 or C7 wheel originally. It came with no TPS, centre cap, or lugs. Just the wheel.

That's tricky. If the finish ia original it's a c7 wheel. But the wheel itself originated with the c6, and theres mo shortage of places selling fast replicas of the original forged wheels.

Weigh it. That may help determine if it's a forged oem wheel or just a cast replica.

If it’s got a GM stamp on the back it’s a Cup wheel off a C7 Grand Sport. I have a set on my car. I bought them from a guy on the forum that pulled them off of his C7 Grand Sport as soon as he bought it. One of the best looking wheels out there in my opinion.

Ryan - Would the 19x10 be a front or rear wheel? I'm assuming a front. Thanks.
