Default C7 Crystal Red Metallic
I have been hearing conflicting stories, is this years CRM the same as it has been the last few years or is it a little darker?
Does anyone have any connections to verify?
Going to order next week.

If you couldn't do a black interior in this color, what would you pick?

I have a 2011 GS coupe in Supersonic Blue, but if I do trade this car in for a C7 ... it's going to be a 2LT Z51 in Crystal Red with the Kalahari interior.

With the standard Z51 silver painted wheels

Nice:

They're chrome. Unfortunately, machine faced wheels are not available on Z51 cars (which this one is).

Can anyone provide me a link to a close up photo of machine-faced wheel?
