Default C6 GS wheels for c5 06

I have searched this forum and the internet for some aftermarket C6 GS wheels in c5 z06 standard sizes with absolutely no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Try FACTORYREPRODUCTIONS.COM... not sure if they are a vendor but they have nice quality replicas. I got the replica zo6 spyder wheels for c5 fitment from them.. hope this helps.

Thanks for replying. I agree they are probably one of the best suppliers of replica wheels. but they dont have the C5 Z06 sizes for the C6 GS wheels. They have them for the base C5 only.

I've seen OEM Grandsport Sizes on the C5 and look great, just not OEM Grandsport tire sizes. I will have to find a photo, but a company makes a wheel identical to those grand sports and they look awesome! I will attach as soon as I find it!

These are also OEM Grand Sport Wheels, without wide body rear fenders.

Ahhh haaa...... what you will have to do if you really want them is get 2 fronts that are from the oe c6 fitment and use those for the rears for the zo6, and get the 2 rear replicas and use those on the front of the zo6. Does that make sense? ?? That's what I did.... I bought spyder replicas for c5 fitment 17x9.5 18x10.5 then I got wide body fenders, I went wider ,,, so the 18x10.5 became the fronts and I got 19x12 for the rear since it's a wide body now.. the repos use the front fitment of the oe for the replica fitment for the c5s rear fitment, and they make a new 17in size so it is c5 fitment... sounds confusing but I hope you know what I mean. That will however be 18 in all around not 17 and 18..
