Default How do you tell difference in OE concept and AFS ZR1?

If so how do you tell the difference?
I got some and I am not certain which company they are from.
I do know they are a 17x9.5 with 56mm BS.

nobody? I was told these are AFS. I need one more wheel if DHL doesn't find mine. So I need to know if I come across a used OE, if I can use it and it will match.

these came with a corvette center, I put the SS ones in.

It is the castings on back that lead me to think they are OE Concepts and not AFS.

I read somewhere on here that the OE wheels are like 5-6 pounds heavier then the AFS wheels. If thats the case then the AFS wheels are the way to go. Now if there is a 1-2 pound difference, I would rock the OE wheels and save some $$$. I know someone SAID they were gonna weigh thier wheels and post up but I cant remember who had them and if they were OE or AFS.

great, I slowed my car down even more. 1lb of rotational mass is equal to 7lbs of static weight.

Exactly, Its 5-6 pounds PER WHEEL. 24 pounds total x 7 pounds static= ALOT of extra weight. Thats Y I am looking for the damm AFS wheels cheap.
