Here is my girl giving the University of Montana mascot a ride! She's not in nearly as fine of shape as the other cars in this thread, but I drive her from the minute the snow and gravel are off the roads here in Montana, until the snow starts falling again. It had 6,000 miles on it when I bought it and drove it home from Nashville. It was in near perfect condition. That was 10 years and 60,000 miles ago. She's been run into by deer, dogs, dualies and dumbasses. The shale carpet is a bit worse for wear. The drivers side leather is starting to show it's age - like me. But she runs like a dream, the F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension system is magnificent, and in my opinion, this is the most beautiful car Corvette put out - well, of the new era. :-)

Does anyone know if Magnesium wheels were an option for these cars? I am asking because i located a car with these wheels, they appear champagne colored like the typical Anniversary Red wheels.

No the 50th Anniversary only came with one wheel option: Champagne colored thin 5 spoke aluminum wheels. The Z06 only came with one option also. The regular (base) 2003 coupe and convertible did have the magnesium wheels as an optional item you could order. I bought my 50th Anniversary in 2003 from a Chevy dealer and it came with the commemorative brochure (see attached photos) which list the only wheel option for 2003 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette. Hope this helps you.
The RPO code for the Champagne aluminum wheels on the 50th Anniversary is QD4. See my build sheet and the matching RPO Code QD4 in my glove box. If you look in the glove box of the car in question, you will see this code for the original wheels also.
Note: I have my original wheels in storage, since I updated my Vette to the C6 five spoke polished wheels ( I personally never liked the champagne wheels, always thought the beautiful dark cherry metallic red paint on the 50th Anniversary just popped to life with polished or chrome wheels). We all customize our Vettes to our own personal preference (you only live once, so might as well drive what makes you happy... right?).
