Default Who Made These Wheels?

I bought a car w/ chrome wagons and was wondering how I could tell who made them. Was there a reproduction company that made chrome wagons? I looked around a bit, and was unable to find a GM stamp on the wheels. Were the stock wheel sizes 18x10.5 rear 17x9.5 front, or were these the Z06 sizes? I think this is the size of the wheel, actual measurements are 19.5x10.5 - 18.5x 9.5, this is .o.s to .o.s diameter and o.s. to o.s. width.

I don't think anyone has made an aftermarket wagon wheel. They are generally disliked by the C5 folks, so the used ones are real cheap, so there is no room for aftermarket.

They are 17x8.5 and 18x9.5.

Colorado Customs makes a wheel called the Arriba that looks a lot like a stock wagon wheel.
