But no black wheels for me. I'm hoping the Z06 will offer something like competition gray for the wheels. If all they offer is the painted silver, it will be chromies once again.

Z06 with Chrome wheels should be against the law!

The Z06 looks great in black but I'm loving the wheel to fender gap. Hopefully it comes from the factory like that.

I disagree. Mine didn't look so good the day I picked it up. It took a wet-sanding job to do the trick. However, my Z06 will be a red one, especially if I decide to hold on to the Z51 as well.

Default Like black in Z06
For what it is worth, year after year, black is the most popular color hands down.

and that lasts what, an hour, a day? ........or until the next rainfall you get caught in.

Good thinking for RED on your next one

Looks great, but you should make the calipers yellow!

Agreed--I've had to deal w/ it for almost 20 yrs w/ no end in sight (see below).

Make mine yellow (or maybe blue!)

LOL, keep dreaming. The Z06 will hit the streets with a significantly worse wheel gap than we saw in the reveal car.
