Default Finally Ordered!!!

My car is finally ordered - a Monterey Red C6 coupe with cashmere interior, F55 suspension, navigation, etc. The question I need help/input with is, I ordered the cheapest wheels because I don't like any of the choices when ordering, so, what high polished deep dish wheels are available for this car that is w/in reason pricewise? I have seen a pic of the Fikse profil 5 and like those but I would like to see some others. Thanks. Oh, btw, is there anyone who has had to wait the full 8 weeks for the car? I am so hoping the 6 weeks that I have been hearing is correct.

By "ordered" if you mean your order has been pulled by GM, then 6 weeks should be the waiting time.

If you just gave your dealer the order, then the wait would depend on the dealer allocation and constraints.

Good luck.

I ordered my DSOM/Cashmere Couple, 3LT, A6, F55, Nav, Onstar & MD on 10/15. Order was put in last week and I have a TPW of 11/7. I expect to have it around Thanksgiving.

How long has it been for you so far? They told me "6 to 8 weeks" but I am hoping desperately for the 6. Either way, it should be a great Christmas present. I live in NC and it rarely snows here. You watch, it will come a blizzard or something and I will sit out in the garage and stare at it. Oh well, I will try to be patient. Does anybody know how long it actually takes to get a VIN number? I forgot to ask. Thanks.
