Do C5 5 spoke have different styles
So in my searches I always come up with the thin spoke but these appear to be a little different? If I'm correct does anyone have any pictures of these mounted on a C4. Preferably black car with deepdish will do. Thanks

Since they are aftermarket wheels, they can be any style they want.
Lots of different manufacturers out there with their own idea of "C5 Style"

The early GM C5 5 spoke is slightly different than the later ones not sure when they changed I think the spoke is slightly wider, They also had painted gray and polished.
There are many versions of the GM C5 5 spoke
Wagon wheel
Magnesium
version 1 thin spoke
version 2 thin spoke

The wide spoked ones are commonly referred to as wagon wheels. Personally I think they look better on a C4 than they did on the C5.
