There should be a part number on one of the spokes of the wheel - at least that is how I remember the wheels being stamped. However, it could be stamped in the barrel of the wheel as shown below:

I also believe due to copy rights, that reproduction rims can't have CORVETTE stamped on the outside of there rims. Only OEM rims have that. It that true?

Yes, aftermarket wheels cannot have the Corvette word embossed into the wheel.

Based on the photo's I provided what are the thoughts on my rims? OEM or not? I was told from the person I bought them from they are OEM. They do have Corvette on the outside but I am unable to located a GM part number. Unless it is behind all the brake dust.

Thanks

I dunno if it's the part number but yours has a stamping of letters/numbers starting with "KJ..." inside the groove at about 1 o'clock. Yours looks just like my z51 wheel. There are no other markings on my wheel either.

Are your wheels OEM to your car?

Just an update: After a good cleaning of all the old brake dust, I did find the GM marking on all my rims.
