I think they would look great as long as the calipers and rotors were looking sweet (like yours!).

Your car will look awesome with a set of C6 wheels on it. Do you have adaptors with the current wheels? I think the same adaptors (2.5") that will allow the installation of C5 wheels may work.

i think the only way to put the rears on would be with flairs or you'll have to mini-tub and switch to offset trailing arms.
i think it would look good though!
