I received the 7/8” thick wheel adapters from Motorsport Technology and they looked great. They were definitely a quality product. I brought them to my Vette mechanic to swap out the C5 wheels for the C6s. I also purchased Shraeder TPS. The C6 wheels fit perfectly without using the adapters. If they were installed, the wheels would have stuck out beyond the wheel wells and as a result would spray dirt onto the rear fenders. The Schrader TPS worked as expected without any programming problems. I’m writing this as a follow up and as an FYI for members that are planning to do a C5 to C6 wheel change. The mechanic told me that perhaps the adapters would’ve been needed if I swapped out to C6 Z06 wheels. I thank the members that provided me guidance for this project and I hope this helps others that are planning a C5 to C6 conversion.
I have C6 ZO6-style (I say "style" because I think they are aftermarket) 19" x 10" wheels installed on my 1998 C5 coupe, and they fine with without any adapters.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve tried to attach photos of the C6 wheels that are on the car but for some unknown reason I’ve been unsuccessful.
