I have a 99 C5 with Z06 style wheels on it now. They are the C5 Z06 motorsport wheels 18/19". They need some attention, the previous owner didn't take good care of them and they have some peeling and pitting going on.

So I've been looking very hard at the C6 style Z06 wheels like these on ebay...360365497507. I've seen some really nice c5's with the c6 5 spoke wheels though. Just would like some opinions and more importantly quality. Not sure if anyone has ever purchased wheels from this company on ebay or if their is a vendor on here that I can support that is going to have good quality wheels.

I'm looking for 18x8.5 and 19x10. Just going to go with the stock size for the C6's. Any feedback is appreciated or pics of your C5 with the C6 wheels on them. Thanks

One other thing. I already bought new tires that are sitting in the garage ready for new wheels. I bought Hankook V12's. My front tire size is the stock c6 size...245/40/18. I was planning on buying 8.5 wide rims for the front. Will the tires bulge out on the 9.5 rims.
