Default Available wheels?
All the pictures that I see on the 05's are the five spoke, but mine has different wheels. They are stock, but I just never see any corvettes with them.

What were the other wheel options in 05 and their "nicknames" here on CF?

Thanks!

All '05-'07 wheels look like this chrome one. The others were either polished aluminum or silver painted but all had this same spoke design.

05 only came with the 5 spoke painted or polished per the sales brochure.

If that's your car then IMO you have one of the best looking combos.

It's a great looking car, but not mine. I hijacked it from the 2005 picture thread. I hope the owner doesn't mind.

My car is exactly the same minus the stripes.

that's because until mid-late '08, the chrome wheel option for '08 model was using the '05-'07 model, five spoke wheel to chrome. it's all good.
