Default Identify this wheel


Just bought a 2005. These are the wheels that came on it. One of the front ones is scrapped up. Can someone ID what kind of wheel it is.

Its an aftermarket wheel that looks similar to that standard wheels that came on the 05 though at least 07's except yours has fake rivets.....which is how I know its not OEM....You can still find OEM wheels like that painted and chrome...Not sure where you'd find an exact duplicate with the rivets...

Your personal assessment wasn't the question asked for. The question was can the wheel be identified. They will be on my car until I need tires and then everything will be replaced.

I strangely remember these from my f-body days, these were the hot ticket on those cars. They were called the C6 Motorsport wheel, I can't remember the name of the company that made them, only they no longer exist.

Thats what they are. Thanks. They were on the car when I got it. The previous owner probably put the on when he got the car.

You can probably find mint OEM wheels that look just like those for cheap like on the bidding site....You can also find other wheels that you might like that can also my OEM or aftermarket at Bobs House Of Wheels...He is a long time vendor here and a stand up guy...He can also hook you up with fresh TPMS for your tires as well for a very good price as opposed to dealer prices.


Enjoy your vette and good luck...
