Default C6 Wheels Retrofit?

OK, I love the C6 but my C5 is only a year old. Just like buying a new computer, at some point you take the plunge, with the certainty that newer and shiner toys will come along in due course. But I really love the six spoke wheels shown on the C6 in the American Revolution commercial and wonder, will they fit on the C5? More specifically, with the idea of upgrading a standard coupe to Z06 size rims (as suggested in the Car & Driver handling comparison a few months back). Ideas, anyone? Thanks. :seeya

OK, I'll look again, I swore it looked like 6, but it was in motion. In any event, I like the look, it certainly seems a different design than the basic C5 wheel?

OK, 1-2-3-4-5
:leaving:
Darn! I still like the look! :bb
