Default 2016 factory wheels

Does anyone have a picture of the 2016 Stingray 3LT Z51 wheels? The chrome ones are option Q7E in the order brochure, but I cannot find a picture. Thanks

The order guide does not list these as new so they are the same as last year's Z51 wheel.

Still waiting on a real picture of the base 2016 wheels. Why is this so hard for GM to provide? We can't see the new wheels even though the car can be ordered? Weird.

just a guess! maybe GM wants to first see the new wheels on a 2016 corvette, we all know aftermarket wheel venders will have these asap! once the picture comes out. picture the 2016 wheels on a c5,c6, and 2014/15 before the 2016. just a thought.

Wheel designs are completely independent of 1LT / 2LT / 3LT. These are the 2016 Z51 chromes - same as 2014 and 2015.

Here is a photo that was posted by forum member Elegant1. The wheel at top right is the standard (non-Z51) design in machine-faced finish. It's also available in chrome, black painted, and standard silver painted finishes.

Thank you for the reply. It appears that the cool "Blade" wheels at the bottom of the slide are Z06. The base Stingray wheel shown in the upper right is UGLY. Say it ain't so Joe! Maybe the Z51 has something better.
Again, Thanks.

Thanks for the pic. I can certainly live with these "old" wheels. Nice.

Since we are throwing out wheels here. I'm almost 100% sure that this is the new polished aluminum "Motorsport Wheel" (R86). Just available with two of the special design packages. I have to have it.

Thanks very much. These are the wheels I saw somewhere in the hype but could not pin down. These are terrific but these design packages are not my thing. Maybe they will be available some other way. Again, thanks for putting this to rest for me.
