Default will c6 wheels fit c5?

I like the new c6 10-spokes. I had a game (gran turismo 3) where I put this style on a black c5 and always wanted the wheels. No company makes them big and for rearwheel drive cars until now, chevy of all companies. So will the c6 wheels fit a c5 for backspacing and all? or do I have to wait on the aftermarket replicas made for a c5?

Inquiring minds want to know. The diameter (with the new runflats) is the same.

A way to find out is to call the supporting forum vender Ronal. They make a wheel that fit's the C6. They will be able to tell you if the same wheel will fit a C5.

Let us know what you8 find out!

I am also very interested in the exact same 10 spoke wheel and new " quieter" run flats. I hope someone here can enlighten us.

Please post what you learn. I'm interested from a different angle.. I hear the C6 runflats are far superior to the C5's. Thought about that as a way to improve the rubber without giving up te security of runflats.
