Think that is a C6. The suspension took quite a hit.

I have seen big potholes hit at relatively high speeds shatter alloy wheels like that. A steel wheel would be badly bent.

Definitely a hard hit....
Thats a C7.
The flat (vertical) edge on the fender and the big curved slot for the side marker light are the tells for the generation.
