Corvette Y-spoke

I did a search on this and didn't see any topic, so I figured I would post.

How many are going with the new y-spoke. I'm assuming that these will fit a C5?!
Has anyone seen pics of these on a C5?
I know they aren't out yet, but I've seen some pics of the reproduction wheels on the C6, but not on the C5.

Anyone seen pricing on a chromed set?

Well, actually, I sold that Vette about 2 months ago.

I just bought another one about 3 weeks ago and it's supposed to arrive TODAY (I haven't even seen it yet!!!)

So the search for a new set of wheels is on (again)
