GM OE C6 wheels?
OK, I see reproduction C6 wheels in 17" to fit our beloved C4's from 88 up, my question is will the GM wheels which are 18" (and 19") fit or is there a problem with backspacing etc?
I know they will be outrageou$ but if insurance is going to pay I would prefer to go with GM parts.
Thanks!

I don't believe your Ins Co (or any for that matter) will replace your 20 year old wheels with NOS. Would be cost prohibitive for them to do so.
I am sure they will offer to locate aftermarket replica wheels, so if I were you, I'd be checking at OE Wheels in FL or AFS Wheels in CA for stock inventory.

They deffinatly fit. however you will need to get a spacer for the rear wheel so it dosent hit the wheel well, i used a 1/2 inch. other than that it looks really good, by far the coolest rims ive seen on a C4. Ill upload some pictures when i get a chance

my insurance co. has also just issued a check in the past for damages (headlights on the BMW, rims on my Volvo). I think it just matters on the ins. co.
