Good job on the buy, you definitely got the real deal. Even the picture I posted with the suspect GM stamping, the inside finish on the spoke with the GM stamp looks cheap and just not right.

One of 300
Here is a picture of one of the original 300 sets made for GM.
Purchased from a Forum vendor years ago. The word CORVETTE is embossed in one of the vertical spokes.
GM started labeling their wheels with the "CORVETTE" embossed/cast into the outside of the wheel to deter counterfeiting since
it would be illegal to duplicate their design without their permission.

Can't seem to get the picture to display.
I dragged and dropped it, it appeared to upload ok. Anyone got an idea of what happened?

I talked to Ecklers today about these and they said they were reproductions. I told them you really should change the description, they agreed but they probably won't.
