And....most of the time the OE ones that have an aftermarket chrome job also have some aftermarket center caps with a funky wannabe logo instead of the OE caps with the official GM C6 logo.

Here are the RPO codes for the 2006 C6. It looks like the chrome wheels were QX3. Look on the sticker in your glove compartment that has all the RPO codes of what was built into your car to see what it came with from the factory.
