Ad with ~30 pics in Autotrader. There are a number of 2017 Grand Sports with far fewer features offered for significantly higher price than $56,500! (As I noted, the total MSRP with my additions -less install costs- is a documented $84,262.) Of the 30 pictures in the Ad, the two below that show the care with which I have driven my Grand Sport and the many small things that come with the car. May be important to some who want the best NOT cheapest used car!

Already bought Splash Guards in anticipation and will get Llyods Plush Black Mats as go with the 2017 GS! With the Ground Effects" option cancelled have already called the supplier of my 2014 Z51 carbon fiber splitter and side skirts and they will have available in a few months. Have to wait to get it to see what's next! Might also be a pair of small LED Driving Lights as it looks like there is room in the center grill area! We'll see!

Appreciate the post!
BENT WHEELS
There are a number of posts re Grand Sport Wheels bending. With >1/2 the C7’s from 2017, 2018, 2019 having wide wheels (i. e. GS, Z06, ZR1) that’s about 50,000 C7’s so it’s not a high percentage failure as measured by forum posts. As Tadge posted on the forum, about their same past experience with wide wheels - mostly caused by bad roads. As he noted, just a much higher percentage of wide wheels in use. Once the C7 Grand Sport was introduced with the same tire/wheels as the Z06 the percentage of Corvettes rose dramatically.
In addition, perhaps one reason I have had no problem is the $1495 Optional Machined Face Aluminum Wheels. My observation is they “look stronger,” especially the center hub which provides barrel support. Understand that is subjective but my MSME specialty is “Behavior of Materials,” and my working carrier has been in the welding of high performance structures- so some formal support to the statement.

As number of new 2019 has shrunk to near zero, ordering a new C8 will get delivery mid 2021 - getting many inquiries from Autotrader.
NADA value with 75% of none listed extra's like Stage 2 Aero, Machined faced aluminum wheels etc and 60% of many extra's is $62,500
Original price with extra's $84,262.
Asking $56,500 with ~9,000 miles, mint condition. Can send detail sheet with all info and more pics.

Look up Jerry's posts and you'll see he's a meticulous real-deal car guy. I leared a few things from him over the years. If you're looking for a GS, you can't go wrong buying this car.

Have a complete data sheet showing the cost of the extras'. Sent a PM and can send that detailed sheet.
Funny, getting many inquiries, mainly through AutoTrader. Not unexpected now that Kerbeck (a good indicator) is finally out of all NEW C7s! They have not had a standard shift for over a month. Yep, one of the best, low mileage, M7, Grand Sports available only driven my this 77 year old dude!
PS: Have the OEM Black Upper Dash Pad and will install if you'd prefer!

While I appreciate your comment; my MSME specialty is “Behavior of Materials,” and my working carrier has been in the welding of high performance structures- so some formal support to the statement.
I just bought a new 2019 GS with the same wheels. Drove it non-aggressively for 400 miles on interstate from dealer to my home. Added another 100 mile locally in same manner. Just took in for my 500 mile oil change. I told them I have a small vibration at 65-75 MPH. They have informed me that all 4 wheels are bent. Car had 19 miles on it at dealer with no test drives. I know I didn't hit anything. I've been told by Service Manager that GM will most likely not warrant the repair.

Sorry for your problem BUT in 9000 miles I have zero vibration. Albeit in Eastern SC we have no deep freeze road issues and RR Crossing Tracks are the most shock my wheels are exposed. I do go over those slowly. Don't say where you live BUT perhaps the car was driven over some rough places or pot holes before you got it.
It's far from all C7 Grand Sports and Z06's with the issue on a percentage basis so could be a QA issue as well. I'm well past the "Infant Mortality Failure Mode." At 500 miles your not.
