Default New “Blade” accessory wheel?

I agree I think that those are the Blade wheels?

Similar to last gen CTS-V wheels, with a bit of a twist.

*From Chevrolet's website. There are more pics there.

I like the current wheels better...these remind me of the C6Z spyder rims. If fact, when I first saw them, I thought that's what they were...until I took a closer look.

Glad to see they added the black interior suede package and a proper red interior color

Its the angles that don't make it appealing. If they just went with straight lines, I think it would be more accepted.

I saw the new wheels in person yesterday and thought they looked great. To each his own.

And the Spice Red / Spice Red car was awesome.

Almost made me want to give up my Buckeye colors. (Shark Gray & Adrenaline Red)
