Default C5R wheels?

Anyone know the specific model of BBS wheels on the C5R in this pic? I know it is spindle mount here, but wondering if these were ever offered with lug nut pattern for our cars.

Man, how cool is that front clip, how it tucks back under the front of the front tires! Very sweet!

As far as the wheels go, I kind of prefer the look of the OZ's that were used later. But the BBS's would look great in a large size (and maybe without the rivets, like the race wheels).
