New 2012 GCA Aftermarket Wheel - The Torque 2
During Saturday morning’s slide show of what’s new for the 2012 Corvette at the Museum's Bash, we saw a new aftermarket wheel called the Torque 2. The wheel will be available from dealers through the Genuine Corvette Accessories catalog.

I like 'em.
I'm sure we'll be seeing true "aftermarket" versions of those as well.

I like it!! Very aggressive! The problem I have with most of these wheels is that they don't come in ZR1 sizes. The next wheels I order will be 20" and 19" in the front.
