Those look like chromed knock-offs of the OE fanblades that came on my '07. I wasn't thrilled with the OE's.

They are not knock-offs

I'm guessing that someone chrome plated their fan-blades. I'm not much for the work, but in any case they were never put on the road stock like that. At least certainly not to my knowledge

...which is the exact reason that I stated above that I thought they were aftermarket.

AND, if those were originally OE wheels, they're 8.5" wide which would prevent you from putting tires sufficeintly wide to support the power from your SC.

The OE fanblades wouldn't be half-bad if they were more of a deep-dish design or at least set in an inch or so. Those blades being flush to the outer edge of the rim = FAIL, IMO

IMO, the wheels you've got on right now are the nicest. I've got the same ones so I'm biased. LOL
