I just bought a set of 18” and 19” gloss black C6 grand sport wheels from Keith. Prompt shipping and a good quality repro wheel for my C5.
running Michelin Pilot 4S tires. 265/35/18 and 305/30/19.

Your stock size will work with that wheel. I have been running that combination for almost 12 years. You will be good with that company. I didn’t deal with them but I know someone that has.
