Bought my 99 SS last week, previous owner said they were 17x9.5 c5 z06 wheels. I figured they were the "made for fbody" replicas that most people run. I'm trying to figure out what exactly they are, so I can get another one. I have one spare, I want 6 total so I can have my E/T Streets mounted on two for track days.

I haven't taken any of the wheels off the car yet, but the spare (which I assume is the same as the others) has Speedline and the GM logo with some random numbers and 17x9.5x54 clearly stamped on the inside back of the spokes....Its a brand new wheel, no mistaking what its says. I know Alcoa made the z06 wheels for a few years, and so did speedline...so do I have GM OEM c5z06 wheels? Just all 5 of mine are fronts? (17x9.5). I'm at work so I cant post any pics now...but they're just chrome c5z06 wheels.

What wheels do I have so I can find a new/used 6th one?!?!

Thanks!

There was no factory chrome option for C5 Z06 wheels. They are most likely aftermarket. Could be chromed factory but highly unlikey. C5 Z06 were 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rears. Gumetal (charcoal/dark silver) type finish was the only factory available color.

Hmm I was unaware of that...then what gives with the GM logo being stamped on the back?

It's my understanding the c5's were ZR1's. And the C6 were ZO6's totally different rim style. You have C6 ZO6 wheels

No. C6 Z06 wheels are totally different...it is also written on the spare rim 2004 Z06.

Actually they offered them polished as well in 2004.

If they are actually chrome they are replicas, and they are most likely replicas since they are all the same size regardless.

Learn something new every day. The posted pictures look like aftermarket. Or somebody chromed some factory wheels.

Wow, lots of bad info in here. Chrome GM z06 wheels weren't offered, BUT I did have a set of true GM wheels that were chromed so that's the likely answer. Your questions would be answered if you removed the wheels.

+1 c5 z06. Look like oewheels llc. Rims imo.

I'll snap some pics of the spare when I get home tonight and post them. Wont be able to get the wheels ON that car OFF til next week. But im 99.99% sure the spare is the same as the ones on the car...I'm thinking I'm gonna go with an oewheels replica as my 6th wheel...but that still doesnt answer why they're stamped GM and Speedline.

Just look like OE rep Chromes.
