I just remembered a perfect wheel for you; they're very close to the C6Z wheel in appearance. They're still available in 19x11 and chrome according to C5racer(.com)

Google "ACE Slick C5 19x11" and you'll find them, I can't post a link because I couldn't find them on a vendor site

Disclaimer: when I checked the ACE website for availability, they're not listed under C5, but on 2008+ C6, they're listed as available in 48-65mm offset; 65mm is PERFECT for a 19x11 on a C5. I'm assuming it's an error on their site; contact C5racer(.com) for more details.

One step ahead of you.

I remembered about these yesterday and I contacted a seller today.
I'm waiting to hear back from them.
