Sure sounds like that's what he was talking about....They were a very expensive option on the C-5s. I thought about them when I ordered my '01, but if I recall correctly, they were something like a $2000 option. For that kind of money, I stayed with the stock wheels from GM with the car, and bought an aftermarket set with the two grand. Now I use the OE wheels and worn OE tires to store the car on during the winter.
