Not sure how long until the GM police force this to be taken down, so take a good look!
Does the "1/2" etching indicate a major change in the handling?
Could this indicate AWD?
If they actually use these lugnuts, is the C7 DOOMED?

OK I'll bite, clear indication by their shape & color that the new car will be a 4cyl. turbo diesel AWD

Finally something concrete that can confirm the C7's new look.

Down to using two from five? They did it with one way back!

But the necessary adapter is secured with five lug nuts.

Those are Camaro lug nuts!

JoesC5

Does the Camaro have 1/2" diameter studs?

I can tell by the reflection of the photographer in the lug nut that 70% of the vehicle will be made from chinese parts.

I can tell.

You and many Corvette vendors call them "lug" nuts but actually GM called them "adapter" nuts.

And I'm wrong too as the one holding the wheel on is the "Locking" nut.

Telepierre

Yep - as I predicted...ALL titanium!

That's it, I've had it. I am selling my C6 and my Silverado and taking my business elsewhere. How dare they defile the Corvette legacy by such a move!!!

I have no idea where you got your info...but I've heard they are going back to knock off's.

proexpert

ahh chrome, I'm in.

JoesC5

It's been some 12 or so years since I've had one of my knock off wheels removed from my C2, but them "adapter" nuts sure looked like lug nuts to me. Even used the same lug wrench to tighten them that I use on my 56.

12 years or so you say? Low mileage garage queens don't get a bye!

*When does NHTSA recommend that tires should be replaced?

While tire life will ultimately depend on the tires’ service conditions and the environment in which they operate, there are some general guidelines. Some vehicle manufacturers recommend that tires be replaced every six years regardless of use.* In addition, a number of tire manufacturers cite 10 years as the maximum service life for tires.* Check the owner’s manual for specific recommendations for your vehicle. Remember, it is always wise to err on the side of caution if you suspect your vehicle has tires that are over six years of age.
