You don't have a lot of choices. Yes, lots of aftermarket manufacturers offer Rally wheels but not with the offsets you would need, to fit a C5. There's just no demand for what you want to do.

2020 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

Because there are so few of us left is exactly why I kept my "wagon wheels."

Good luck finding what you are really looking for. Not sure how they would look on a C5, but could be interesting.

This is the first I've heard of 'rally' wheels - IMO they are not bad but seem to be 'bland' for the task. Ymmv

As an alternative, I've always loved 5-star wheels since the good ole 5.0 Fox-Body - check out C6 wheels on a C5 (just need spacer for the rear which I never got to implement):
