these wheels are about 2 hours away from me and I have no clue what offset they are because the owner doesnt know if they are oem wheels or not. How can I tell?

I'm pretty sure the real deal would have the Vette logo in the center cap...

Yea, should be. You would have to run spacers if they were the real deal.

He just got back with me. There is no oem stamping. It has a number stamped on them and says 59 mm. That must be offset. I dont want these to hang out past the fender like some of these c6 vette wheels like I have seen. A couple I have seen look absolutely amazing. Mateols1ss is exactly what im looking for. Will find the pic.....

59mm offset will bring the wheel in further than an OEM, these will not stick out, 59mm is a pretty good offset to actually bring them in, not out!!! If they were in the 36mm range, them it might stick out too much What size are they? ?x?
