Default New Wheel Option

Just received an email with this news in it. If it is old stuff just ignore it.

Chevrolet is pleased to announce the addition of a third wheel option for
the 2005 Corvette. In addition to the standard Silver painted 5-spoke QG6
and the Polished 5-spoke QG7 will be a 5-spoke "Competition Gray" painted
wheel. Competition Gray is the tint previously used to provide the racier
look to the C5 Corvette Z06 wheel. The new Competition Gray wheel is now
available by selecting Option Code QX1. A $295.00 additional charge will
apply.

Nice, reasonably priced alternative to the polished and standard wheel.

Have the rear organizers for the coupe become available yet?

Stan, they won't be available until at least January. GM has rejected several trial versions already.

Aha! That explains it. Instead of giving me polished wheels, I must have gotten an early version of the gray wheel. Well, it sure looks grey.

Well, it was either the shelf organizer or Victoria's Secret for my wife for the holidays. Can't say I'm totally disappointed....

I don't see much difference. Is this the silver wheel, with polish? Is it a darker, silver wheel? And, why does it cost more?

I agree with Corvette SSX, I just don't care for the gunmetal gray rim. To me it looks like a dirty rim with brake dust.
