machined face and the gloss black on the inside . I was told they were rare by several people. Sort of like the 35th anniversary camaro ss wheels.

Highly doubt it, doesn't a aftermarket company makes these?

Nope. Unless they are a rip off.

I don't think GM ever made those wheels, at least that I know of. I could be wrong, but I bet they aftermarket wheels.

C5 Z06 wheels came primarily painted a dark charcoal gray, and the 2004 blue Commemorative models had the chrome option.

I believe OEM Wheels makes/made those. I tried getting them a long time ago but heard they had been discontinued.

Is there a gm stamp on the rim or a gm part number. That would tell you that they are not gm wheels

They are aftermarket and you can't get them anymore. When they stopped making them alot of people were upset. More people on corvetteforum would know than here. They aren't the normal OEwheels replicas, although they are still replicas. I looked for a set for a while.

Link? I can't find who you're talking about. The people that made the original version stopped making them. They are machined face.

They are machined ace Z06 replicas. My buddy ran a set on his camaro in 18's for a year or 2. Not rare by any means. Also not a factory wheel at all
