Could I get wheels for my C5 just like these (or damn close?)...
These wheels are gorgeous and they - or something very similar - is what I'm hoping to find for my C5. Any ideas out there???

It looks like the jaguar lug patteren is the same as the C5 so you could try ebay for the whlles, ive seen every type of stock wheel ive ever looked for on ebay in all the cars ive ever had.

There are tons of wheels out there that would look great on a Corvette, but the problem and issue is the offset (aka backspacing) and the bolt pattern. The C5 uses a 120mm bolt pattern and stock offset is about 50mm. I spent a lot of time at the SEMA show in Vegas this past November going from vendor to vendor asking about Corvette fitment. Most said "NO".
Take a look at HRE and iForged for 3 piece 5spoke wheels. I know iForged will do combinations of polished and machine finish.

I gave you the links that I did because I knew that all three of those companies will make a C5 fitment. HRE's are probably the most expensive of the three. All three offer a similar 5 spoke split spoke. CCW wheels are 1 piece forged. iForged and HRE offer either a 2 piece welded wheel (no allen head screws around the rim) or a 3 piece assembled wheel.
Personally, I don't think you could make a bad choice with any of these three.
