Staggered wheels mean that the back wheels are larger than the front wheels. If you have a base C6, then the Grand Sport will not fit. Too wide.
The inside of my factory GS rims are not chrome.
On my base c6. I bought a set of GS replicas in base c6 size. Ran 800.00.
So are you sure those are Factory Grand Sport Wheels? Be careful.

I just picked up a set a machined faced cup wheels from them…wheels look excellent (will not be installing in couple weeks so until then can not comment on wheel trueness etc BUT if you do not mount tires onto wheels and first test for trueness and defects and if found any issues you can return wheel for replacement). Finished in satin black in barrels and recesses and machined part well done. Weight is good too… rears (19x10) are 26 lbs and fronts (18x9.5) 24 lbs. Shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent.

The wheels are completely Chrome plated but the back and barrels don't get machined and polished before plating so they don't look as good. Most wheel Companies paint over the Chrome plating on the backs and barrels.

I have a set of Z06 replicas, I wold give the chrome plate and finish an 8 out of 10
They fit was great, and they look great, but the imperfections under the chrome which shows through and some polish marks on the chrome itself, on my rims at least, were less than I hoped for.
With that said for the price they are a great bargain.
