C5 deep dish wheels

Has anyone seen these on ebay? They look really good in the pictures but they do not show them on a car. Does anyone have pix of these on a car?

The eBay ad does list the offsets, but its confusing. They are advertising 18x9.5 front/18x10.5 rear, but when you scroll down to the specs, next to "wheels", it says:
Front 17 x 9.5"- 56mm / Rear 18 x 10.5"- 56mm - 70.3cb Replica.
56mm is OK for the front. 56mm in the back makes the backspace about 8.0", which will cause the same issues at the 17x11 50mm wheels described in the FAQ. Hammering, cutting the jounce bumper bracket, recentering, may be necessary with a fat tire.

No. There are either 50mm (Grand Sport offset) or 36.5mm (ZR1 offset)
