Default Stock or After market

Gents and Ladies,
In a recent conversation with a few other C5 owners, I was asked if the rims on my Vette were stock? I did not know. One guy had painted rims that came on his (quite ugly), another had double spokes on his.
My Rims are




I am thinking they are stock.

Your thoughts

Stock design, but could easily be reproductions. Check the back for GM part numbers.

Certainly looks like a stock design, but if they are chrome plated, they could be OEM wheels that were plated (check the inside of the spokes) or an aftermarket repro wheel.

There were no chrome plated wheels for the C5 that came from the factory.

Appear to be stock OEM, doesn't get much better unless you have money to burn, dispose of or throw away!

Great wheels. I have them and as much as I want to buy the latest and greatest, I have a hard time parting with these.

If you find a QF5 on your Service Identification Tag, then they most likely are original to your Vette. Mike
