Honestly man, it doesn't really matter imo. This is coming from a hawk owner btw who doesn't think option packages are the end all and be all. Exclusivity is nice, but to me it's not really a deal breaker. The biggest issue imo, is that you might not had paid as much as you did had you known it wasn't an "SS"(if it is in fact not an "SS"). Maybe you would not have bought it at all if you knew, or maybe you would have?
Either way, if you would have bought this car anyways, who cares right? If not, go back and see if you can talk them into some type of "deale-o"
(free oil changes for twenty years or somethin'- lol jk.). But in reality, all of these fbodys, when equipped with ls1 motors (and lt1 is great too imho) are fabtastic!
& LT1s are fabtastic too!
Some have this and some have that, but at the end of the day it is a nice looking car with a nice powerplant to me. Don't worry, be happy. Nice car, whether it is an SS or not.
Also I agree that the TT2s are overplayed. Stick with that or go to something unique, just not anything larger than 17 inches though 
Mine are chrome "Dale Earnhardt edition-Killers-" They are 17s, but in person they almost look smaller. In person, they are mean looking but totally different than anything that I would have run before, but quite honestly they have grown on me. They look great and I get a lot of looks (and not just from Harley fanatics who love screaming eagles/firebirds and chrome ). But big ricer rims aren't the way to go imo. Dyno killing and rice looks aren't the number one goal to most of us 
. But be unique, if you do that you'll get to find out what YOU like, not everyone else. Good luck

Wow, $18k, I don't want to think what my SS cost me new with financing etc! The value on these cars sure has dropped- although my car has fewer than 20 000 mi it isn't worth very much. Probably wouldn't get much more than what the OP paid...

That's a bad reason to not go with any wheel. LS1 F-bodies are overplayed on this site, maybe people should stop buying them and put LS1s into more unique cars?
And anyway, TT2s are not nearly as common on these cars as C4 ZR1s and C5 Z06s, yet those still look great too. I don't see very many F-bodies on the road these days, but 90% of the ones I do see have stock wheels, so anything aftermarket is going to stand out.
I think this thread is pointless now, since someone already posted that the GM VIS shows the WU8 code for the car, meaning that it IS a real SS. So what's the problem?
I think this was covered already, but absolutely NONE of the LS1 WS6s ever went to SLP. They were all done by ASC.

Dude, seriously. Thats the most ridiculous and incorrect thing I have ever heard.
We have established, you don't qualify to comment anymore in this thread pertaining to anything to do with SLP.
The top picture is the "extra content" sticker that was put on at the SLP factory. Not all SSs got this sticker, only the ones that got extra mods over and above the hood/spoiler/wheels. Bottom sticker is the standard SLP sticker that every SS got before leaving the SLP factory.
ALL SSs are SLP cars. Say it. All SSs are SLP cars. One more time for the hard headed. ALL SSs ARE SLP CARS.

I'm not too interested in SS cars personally but I did know that they were all made by SLP.
