Default Considering this C6, anybody know what type of wheels these are?

Thinking of buying this C6 from Carmax but not really sure what type of wheels these are. Can anybody let me know if they are decent, trash or great wheels. Here's the link (please delete if not allowed) car is $32k with 50k miles~

Looks like ForgeStar F14’s. I have them on my GS.

The wheel offset on the rear wheels isn't correct. The rear tires/wheels poke out to much beyond the fender. There's a good chance on a large bump on the road the tires will impact the fender.

so i would most likely need new wheels then. For $33k 4 owners and 50k miles I'm having 2nd thoughts. Well they have a 09 or 2010 automatic yellow base vette at the same carmax location. Are 2009-2010 to 2012 base stock wheels interchangeable?

I don't see that, it looks like they fit flush to me. I wouldn't replace those wheels, they look great.

Based on the photos, they look like they fit perfect to me.

You don't have to change the wheels. 33k would be a pretty damn good price for that car.

If your local Chevy dealer is friendly enough, you can ask them to run the VIN and see if there have been any major purchases of body parts, etc. My dealer gave me the info on my car before I bought it in 2013.

Just me, but...

The wheels look more like Z06 type;
The rear wheels do not fit;
It is a BAC (bare *** Corvette) base, 1LT car;
The ad says it's sold.
