Default Please help ID these wheels

Hey whats up everybody. First time poster. My name's Matt, 18 years old and I live in New Jersey. I bought my first car last May. It's a 1997 Camaro 3.8L v6 with a 5-speed. I got it from one of my dad's buddies and got a great deal. $1000. These pics are from when I got the car so they are old. It has 17" Corvette rims, but I can't figure out which generation or model year they are from. Since I've had the car, one of the Corvette emblems has fell off the wheel and its long gone. I noticed one day because there was a big blotch of yellowish goo instead of the twin flags. Turns out it had fallen off before and the guy who owned the car last tried to epoxy it back on. Like I said the picture is old..I've done alot of work to it since, including bodywork, paint, exhaust and intake as well as a new stereo and some other little stuff. I'll try to get a few better shots soon, including a close up of the rim, but were expecting snow soon.

If anyone could help me figure out what year wheels these are it would be really appreciated, and if anyone could point me in the direction to get a replacement emblem that'd be awesome. Thanks alot.

--Edit, ok I fixed the link...sorry about that

No, like I said the picture is old. I put on new bumpers front and back, did a little body work to the doors and diver's side quarter panel, then I had it repainted the same Polo Green. I would like to get a few new pictures but it's covered in 3 inches of snow....


Thanks for all your help guys.

Any idea how to remove epoxy? Nail-Polish remover maybe?
