c6 wheels
hey...i have them on my 01 coupe also....
in stock tire sizes also
they bolted right up, air pressure sensors went right in and everything
it was just as easy as bolting on any set of wheels on any car

tony,
careful with the information given here...there's been more reports of OEM C6 wheels REQUIRING spacers than fitting without them.
the ones mentioned here are most likely c6 replicas in c5 offsets.
the ones pictured in post # five certianly did not come from the factory for a C6 which is why they worked for his car without issues.
your best bet is to do a search...there's been plenty of threads covering this.

take a look at some of these threads. they all say that they needed spacers to make OEM c6 wheels work on their c5s.
