Default Anyone have real life photos of the GS wheels?
I'm curious to see what the base Pearl nickels (Q8W) look like compared to the Machine faced aluminums (Q8K)..

I've seen the brochure stock photos which doesn't do much justice.. and some confusing photos that I thought was the Q8K but might not be..

thanks in advance!

The one here looks like Q8W: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...or-thread.html


Here is the machined-face Q8K: http://www.trbimg.com/img-508b2c4b/t...121027-001/600

My car had black wheels. I made the dealer put chrome wheels on before I bought it. Too much black.

Are the GS wheels and tires interchangeable with the Z06 wheel and tires?
