Default how wide are the wagon wheels?

How wide are the regular stock C5 wagon wheels? 9.5" front and 10.5" rear? Or is that Z06 wheel size....?

Also, what is the general opinion on "replica" wheels? I've heard they bend easier, don't quite look the same, and weigh more... True or no?

Wagon wheels are 8.5 and 9.5.
Replica wheeels generally weigh more, but often look better than OEM wheels since they are available in chrome as well as polished sans clearcoat (which dulls slightly).

You can do an exchange with some vendors, sending in your original plain wagon wheels for a set of OEM chrome wagon wheels. I did this for a good price and they look great.
