C7 wheels

Looking to find out where the wheels for my 2014 C7 were made and would like to change over to the Z51 style wheels. Are they all made in China?

There may be a stamping on the back of the spokes that states where they were made.

OEM Z51 wheels are made in China. It is stamped inside the barrel of the wheels.

It may not matter, the OEM wheels look like good quality - at least the Z51 wheels, which are not known to have cracking or bending problems like the GS and Z06 wheels.

Another option for C7 owners other than an aftermarket wheel would be to look at the C6 wheels, no quality issues with those & many nice styles

C6 wheels do not fit on the C7.

My C6 60th 427 wheels were made in Italy. Mexico replaced for new C7 ones I believe. If GM knows the issue, they need to make this right!
