Default Are These 10-Spoke SS Wheels Legit?

I've currently got polished ZR1s, but like the silver 10-Spoke SS wheels better. After an hour or so of online searching, I came up with these websites that seem to have the thing I'm after at a decent price. Does anyone have any experience with these or similar wheels, and should the finish on a "refinished" wheel be as good or nearly as good as stock?

"Silver (OEM Rim)", $169: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/CHEV...01/A-05091U10/
"Silver (Replica)", $169: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/CHEV...1/A-05091U10N/


"Used 10 Spoke Original Alloy Wheels", $190: http://www.originalwheels.com/chevro...ro2001rims.php


The cheapest, but maybe it is a replica and not actual OEM like I'm thinking the first 2 are?, $120.89: http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/w_selec...el=Camaro&id=1


Also, Ebay was the only place I could find the Chevy bowtie centercaps I like, but $32.95 each sounds way too expensive. Anyone know where I can find these, but cheaper?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-02-Camaro...#ht_1887wt_901

If they have a GM stamped in the casting, then yes.

Thanks guys. I talked to the Original Wheels guys (Finishline Wheels wouldn't answer), and they said their wheels would have the "GM" stamp. They're used wheels that they've refinished to "Like-New" condition, which sounds good to me, as long as that new finish holds up.

I guess I was under the impression that you couldn't find these wheels except from people taking them off their cars.

And yes, desertLS1, I have no idea why center caps have to cost so much...supply and demand I guess!
