Yes.
Concerning wheels/tire fitment, there is no physical/dimensional difference between the C5 and Z06...whatever wheel fits a Z, will fit yours just the same.

Also, Z06 wheels will accept 97-00 and 01-04 factory tire pressure sensors without any problems

Okay, time for Jackalope's Z06 wheel primer.
Z06 wheels will accept tire pressure sensors, yes. However, Z06 wheels are an inch wider than standard wheels and standard size run-flats look weird on them (although they will fit). You cannot get Z06 size tires in run-flats. You have to use regular tires and carry a plug-klit (plus, if you're smart, a cell phone and a AAA card).
However, if you want the look of a Z06 wheel without losing the benefits of run-flats, Bob's House of Wheels will sell you Z06 style wheels in standard sizes.
How do I know all this? Take a look at my signature.
Any questions?

Those wheels look great on your black vette while it is sitting still. How do they look at 25 MPH, 45 MPH, 75 MPH?
