OEM wagon wheel replicas
Does any company, or companies make the OEM replicas of the chrome wagon wheels, only in an 18" for the front, and a 19" for the rear? I love the looks of the wagon wheels, but I'll probably want to go larger in diameter to fill in the wheel wells. And then I'd use the OEM center caps...

I do think the chrome wagon wheels look good (much better than the painted ones), but I have not seen any vendor offering them in an 18/19 combo. Sorry, they were just not that popular.

Oh boy!!! Now you did it, confessing to a mortal sin in the C5 world! You may need a helmet and body armor or perhaps just a deafening silence will ensue. Well, I for one love chrome wagons on my '99 black vert, but I'm in a very, very slim minority. Welcome to our very small, incredibly tiny club! To answer your question I have never heard of repro wagons, but I may be wrong. Best wishes!
I've actually seen quite a few of the WW replicas on ebay, but they're all in the stock sizes...

With the later thin spokes and Z06 wheels coming in the later half of production there was little need to offer anything for wagon wheels as the newer wheels proved very popular. Prior the only options on C5s were either wagon wheels or the N73 magnesium wheels.
About the only thing you can do to make up for wheel well gap running wagon wheels would be to lower the car or run a slightly higher ratio tire

The nearest thing you will find to "the wagon wheel look" are Suv/truck wheels.
Or you could go 18's all round - plenty of people who will almost give away their wagon wheels. In fact, turn up at my house with a really nice bottle of something, and you can have mine!

I just don't care for thin spoked wheels...they show too much of the dirty stuff behind the wheels...the wagon wheels hide that stuff better...
