I've wondered how those would look on a C3 myself. Coys does a similar looking wheel...

I think they would look pretty cool!

Too Cobraesque for my taste. They do make a nice kidney bean shaped wheel that looks sweet on Grand Sports.

Saw this car 2 years ago. Really liked the look and I think these are the wheels or very similar.

Here's my '70 LT-1 with a set. I bought mine at www.usacomp.com, and they were terrific about working with me on size, etc.

PS Engineering out of California has made those wheels for a while. They are expensive, from what I remember, but excellent quality.

Sorry about the delayed answer but I've been away from the forum for a while (working!).
The rims are 17" Compomotives, and yes, PS Engineering in SoCal does make a very similar rim.
