They will fit - and from a photoshop of the wheels on a C5, they look very good.

I much prefer those to Z06 wheels and I think it makes the car even better looking and underlines it's better appearance over a C6. I know gmpartsdirect do the 18/19 combo. Not too sure about replicas as I've seen some pretty horrendous wheel failures.
I wonder how the wheels look in black.

i checked out a new c6 the other day. some real nice features, but the wheels were not one of them. they looked like hub cap rings. the inside of the wheels were plain and not polished. it may have been the cheap wheels.

Would I be better off getting the C6 wheels in 17 and 18", or 18 and 19"?
If I go with the larger size front and rear, do I have to do anything else to the car. Is there a downside to going with the larger wheels?
Those wheels look awesome on the C5, I'm going to get them!
