Default Are these stock GM rims?

I bought these off Ebay, and I just want to make sure they are the stock GM 8 lug rims. They are steel with a chrome overlay.

I can not find a GM stamp anywhere on the rim, and the bottom picture shows a barcode with some letters on it. They were boxed in American Racing boxes that looked new.

Can anyone confirm this for me?

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm pretty sure those are stock, could be wrong though.

They are stamped steel right? They look like the silver painted steel wheels that most of the 8 lug trucks come with, maybe with a chrome cover.

Thanks guys. They are the steel wheels with the chrome overlay. I ordered them off Ebay, not knowing there were different sets of wheels you could get for the HD. It was an Ebay store, and I thought the pictures were just a generic picture they had representing their store. Oh well, lesson learned. I guess that is what I get for stumbling across the auction with 30 minutes left.

My main concern is that they were genuine GM wheels. With no GM stamp on there, I did not know. I wanted to make sure I was not going to have any balancing issues like I have now with the American Racing rims that are on my truck.
