Don't recall seeing a set like that - I like the way they look.

Not GM wheels, but C5 Z06 style aftermarket.

Definitely a reproduction wheel. There never were any factory C5 Z06 wheels with faux wheel bolts like that.

Default Factory repro

The engraving has FR and I think that's for the company who made them, factory reproductions. can't find that exact style rim on there site.

Try a search using the search term "Motorsport" as part of the words/terms/phrases, i.e. "Z06 Motorsport" or "C5 Motorsport, or "Corvette Motorsport", or any combination similar to that.
I've noticed over the years that many wheel manufacturers/sellers love the word "Motorsport" when assigning names to their particular wheel design that use the Allen head set screws (either real OR fake) around the periphery of the wheel.

I don't Factory Reproductions has much in the way of C5 style wheels. Most of their line is now C6 or C7 style wheels available in C5 fitments as well as C6 fitments. That seems to be what people want.

I believe Robert is right - Z06 Motorsport wheels.
