I bought some Corvette rims yesterday and the ad said that they were OEM rims, but the box the guy gave them to me in says OE Concepts. He's had F-bodies before and his dad has one now so I'm not accusing him of lying to me but is there anyway I can check to make sure these rims are true GM rims? They do have GM on them, it's underlined on the front of the rim and it's about the size of a fingernail. The rims are 97-99 base rims, not Z06 rims, 17 in the front, 18 rear. They are 8.5 inches wide front, 9.5 rear. I'm not too worried about it cause I got the best deal I've ever hear of for decent Corvette rims (150$ for all four), but I would like to know.

This will help me in buying spacers and such for the rims too. I can post pics later if wanted, but I'm going to bed right now, so if pics are needed, just let me know.

Thanks

 

Does it have a little "GM" in the casting anywhere?

 

It sure looks like you have real GM wheels.

He said it did have the little GM with an underline underneath it.

 

If is has GM anywhere on the wheel, it a genuine GM wheel.

 

So what would the rims be made out of?

 

It was a rhetorical question.


Craddock, the whole wheel (not just the rims) are made of an aluminum alloy.

 

Ok, I tried to google it but looking for information on these is ridiculous because all that comes up in replicas.

 

The replicas will be made out of the same stuff.
