How to Identify OEM ZR1
I have a friend with 17 inch Chrome ZR1 wheels and was wondering if there is anyway to tell if its an OEM wheel other than removing the tire and weighing the wheel.
Thanks,
Lane

Not and easy answer . . . I'd assume that therey would be a GM part number on the backside of the spokes.
As for a GM logo, some of the original ZR-1 style wheels, circa 1996-97 had a GM stamp on them. Then for cost reasons GM outsourced them.
The chrome ZR-1's on Camaro SS's did not come from GM, they were installed by SLP. Just like the chrome 10 spokes came from SLP, not GM . . .

if the wheels are gm, they will have a gm stamp on the lip. its kinda hard to miss. oh and loudmouthlt1, you are mistaken. all ls1 SSs started life as a z28 from the factory. gm sent the z28s to slp for the conversion. options were avalable such as different exhast/ suspension mods, or you could get a base SS with just the exhast, hood, wing, and emblems.

There is no easy explanation.
