I've seen the changes for 2011, but if you were to order a 2011 are your only choices for the wheels what we have seen, or can you still get the Comp Grey Spider wheels? I would order a Blade Silver today if I could get the wheels they had on the 2008 Z06.

The Spider wheels are only available on the Z06. Are you getting a Z06? If not then no, you can't get the Spiders, at least not from the factory.

Yes, my next vette will be a Z06. The wheels they had on the 08 Z's, the 5 star split spoke design looked the best for Silver, IMO.

Oh, no the original design split spokes aren't available any more. FWIW, most of us think the Spiders look better, but I know to each their own.

I would suggest just getting the Spiders in chrome or comp gray then sell them or trade with someone and get the original design wheels you like. Ask in the C6 Z06 Forum what members with the old design would prefer IF they were interested in swapping, not saying anyone would. Just thinking out loud. Good luck and congratulations on being able to get a new Z!
