Torque 2 wheel availability?

When will GM release the Torque 2 wheels for the GS and Z06? Is there any official news yet? or just speculation?

Torque 2

I called the Customer service line today they did not know what I was talking about. Told me to talk to my dealer. I then sent them an email the reply back was the same.

That's pretty sad...it's like it doesn't exist. Hopefully they will announce some information soon.

I looked into this and have found out that their planned launch has been delayed. When I hear any updates, I’ll be sure to share them with you.

I heard at the NCM Bash a few weeks ago these wheels will not be released, apparently they ran into some problems with the vendor...

The Torque II wheels won't be coming out. There was a problem with their validation.

For those that asked, these are the wheels that debuted on the Carlisle car.

As a general FYI - have seen some aftermarket wheels out there that are similar to the Torque II design. As I was not shopping for wheels, I did not note where I saw them but thought I would at least share the info that aftermarket designs are out there
