If they're chrome plated be careful. I got some C6 sized Cray Scorpions attached to an 02 Camaro. They were a bit flakey but I wasn't bothered too much, being that they were free.
Within 6 months the corrosion was under the chrome and lifting the bead causing a leak at about 5-10 psi per week
Had to get some new wheels, and send the Crays off to be fully acid stripped then refinished. Gonna cost around 60% the cost of a brand new set
As for sizes and offsets, worth double checking, as mine were slightly different to stock C6 dimensions, despite having originally come off one.

Don't get too over excited about it, Wales can feel a bit backyard and tired. If Wales was a car it would be an AMC Pacer: Not that great to start with, and hasn't aged well either. And very odd to boot. Most likely due to old industries dying and the roads are so poor no new Industry wants to come here. Place is poor, except where the damned English keep coming over the border, bringing their money, and all their teeth, and their fancy gene pools, and buying all the nice houses, and supporting local businesses etc etc. 
Oh, and as for the weather... As one Welsh comedian put it "in the Bible, God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. In Wales that's our idea of a dry summer!"
Seriously, my garden in on clay, and is sodden for 4 months straight over winter.
