which wheels are these
I have these wheels i want to get rid of. I'm not a wheel guy but they appear to be replicas of the 98-99 SS wheels. Can anyone confirm?
Says made in the usa on the back as well.

Factory SS wheels were all 17x9", so these are not the original GM wheels (clearly obvious by the markings on the back as well). Factory versions also had a bright machined lip. Center caps would either contain a Corvette logo, a Chevy Bow Tie ('98-'99 Camaro SS), or an SS logo ('96-'97 Camaro SS).
Most of the reproduction SS/ZR1 style wheels were made in the C4 Corvette sizing of 17x9.5, 56mm offset. Besides the "ZR1" model that this design was first used on, these were also issued on Collector Edition '96 C4s, but with an 8.5" front width.
Not sure on a price, but they aren't particularly valuable as brand new reproductions can still be had for pretty cheap through several vendors.

very worn, only good for burnouts.
As usual thanks for the information.
Thank you.
