If you're talking about OEM c5 z06 wheels, they didn't come in chrome...they were polished aluminum, and will fit your car without any modification. (good luck finding an OEM pair of these anytime soon...your best bet is reproduction chrome)
If you're talking about OEM chrome c6 z06 wheels, they are 12" in the rear and will stick out and look weird without fender flares.

I have C6Zo6 repos, sizes are 265/35/18 on 9.5" wheel and 305/30/19 on 11.0 rear with no problems at all. They do not stick out and are the same roll out as a stock z

It depends on the offsets. OEM C5Z's will fit fine. Most aftermarket sets marketed to the C5 will fit.

No just the regular ones. I do like the deep dish but when I got mine they were just out and the deep dish were not made yet.

Here are some from our customers. We used to sell a ton a few years ago. Newer ZR1 wheels have taken their place.

Actually, there was an OEM Speedline chrome for the C5 Z06. They are few and far between but they are out there.

No. OEM Z16 Speedline rims were polished aluminum. There was NEVER an OEM chrome wheel offered for the C5, if they are GM wheels, they were chromed after the fact.

You may be right sir. I know some dealers offered them as an option. They may have sent the wheels out and had the chromed.

Those do look good! That's the first C6 style wheels I've seen that I like, only due to the deep dish I guess. Now if they didn't have those bolt looking things around where the center meets the rim they would be something I would buy.

Bob's House of Wheels. Back when I got my wheels he was about the only vendor here that sold wheels. I was very happy with his price and customer service. Funny story, after much debate I finally decided to get the wheels and called Bob about 4:30. He was on his way home and asked if I could hold on one moment. Bob pulled over on the side of the road and took my order, well thinking sure i'll have these in a month or two....three days later they were on my door step.
