whenever a new model car comes out that is significantly different than previous generations it takes the aftermarket a little while to catch up ...

the fact that the C6 rear wheel is a 19x10 with a 79mm offset makes it a very unique application ......

At this time all of the manufacturers we represent do not make any wheel with that high of an offset ....

Sorry to hear that. Tire/Wheel/Sensor packages would be da bomb.
