Default Magnesium wheel size?

Is an 01 with the Magnesium wheel option the same same size as a standard C5? And is it part of the handling package.
Thanks.

yes- they are...I have them on my 00 coupe...they are VERY light weight as well...they look great on my torch red car! a $2000 option according to my window sticker! I don't think its part of any option package...but stand alone- my window sticker lists it and the handling package as two different charges...I have selective ride control...

I wished they made the 18's in a 11 inch width so I could have kept them on my coupe

Yes, as others mentioned above.

No. (By handling package I assume you are talking about the RPO Z51 Performance Handling Package.) The Z51 package and the RPO N73 magnesium wheels were two separate extra cost options.
