After reading C6 general, I've come to the conclusion that the C5 is not worthy of C6 wheels. Apparently if you put the wheels on, the headlights will pop up and will permanently be stuck in that position. Your call

The dark side's callin' now, nothin' is real
She'll never know just how I feel
From out of the shadows she walks like a dream
Makes me feel crazy, makes me feel so mean
Ain't nothin' gonna save you from a love that's blind
When you slip to the dark side you cross that line
On the dark side, oh yeah
On the dark side, oh yeah
Stay away from the dark side (C6 General), Luke. She'll never know just how I feel
From out of the shadows she walks like a dream
Makes me feel crazy, makes me feel so mean
Ain't nothin' gonna save you from a love that's blind

FYI - a number of the reproduction vendors are coming out with C-6 wheels in standard C-5 sizes and fitment.

P.S. RCK1999, see what I mean about C5 General being the same way?
