I think you are refering to the 2000 vette style (Y2K's),I had a chrome set on my 89. They cme stock in 17x8.5 frt and 18x9.5 rear I believe. Anyway , alot of the wheel companies repro it in the stock vette size , and 19's. So in order to get it in 17's I was stuck with 17x8.5's. The ZR-1 /SS (thicker spokes) style came in 17x8.5,9.5, and 11 in. sizes.

There are several sets of thin spoke wheels available in the C5 for sale section.

Good luck
