2008 Chrome Wheel
Was out riding the motorcycle with a friend this morning and stopped to look at a couple of 2008 C6s. Noticed a new black coupe that had the factory chrome wheel option (was on the sticker) but the wheels were the same as on the 2007. They were not the new split spoke wheel. Is this correct?

They're trying to get rid of the old stock. If you want the new thinner spoke rims, they are actually polished. The split spoke are available in silver painted or comp grey painted so there's really 4 rim choices.

My guess is they will offer the new polished wheel design as a chrome option, maybe later in the year or next year! If that happens alot of people who are ordering the car with the older style chrome wheels now will be getting the short end of the stick.
