Default Centennial wheels

Does anyone know if the cups wheels come any closer to the edge of the fenders than the GS centennial wheels do?

Cent. wheels are some of the best looking wheels on these cars from OEM or aftermarket.

Could someone please clear up the centennial wheel facts for me. I thought all the cent ed cars came with cup style black wheels. Obviously some have the GS style in black on Cent ed Gs's as well. Are the cups standard on some models and not on others. If not could they have been ordered . Thanks...

Cup Wheels are the name of the style of wheel. Centennial finish is the satin black with red stripe on the Z06/ZR1 (19/20). The GS Centennial wheels are the GS (18, 19) wheels in satin black. The base wheels are the star wheels in satin black with red stripe.

I put the Z06/ZR1 wheels on my GS.




GS Wheel


Base Wheel
