Tony:

I just installed an after market set of C6 chrome rims on my 2000 convertible. They look terrific, and the tire pressure montitors intalled without a hitch. They cost me $745.00 and the dealer paid the shipping. My local chervrolet dealer installed them for $75.00.Check on EBay. I think the seller was AFT Wheels..BADDOG

Tony the OEM C6 wheels will fit your car, but the 79mm offset of the rears may require a spacer or hub adapter to prevent rubbing on the inner fender. The fronts are no problem.
