Default C7, all white, chrome wheels?

My sister who lives out of state is waiting to see the C7 first hand. She does like my combo, do they offer the same combo I have in the new C7? White, Chrome wheels, tan vert top.

thanks!

That's a classy look. I've always been partial to black wheels on white, but the chrome and tan vert top are a great combo. Props!

(Sorry no real answer to your question though)...

Sorry to go off-topic but can you tell me about your driveway rock? Looks great! I'm getting ready to do a driveway to my lower garage and want it to look nice. PM if you'd like so we don't muck up this thread.

Thanks.

around here they call it river rock. it's large enough not to get caught in the tires. I did it 6 years ago thinking i would have had it paved by now, my wife actually likes the country look it gives us. Just need roundup each year.

baltobrewer, thanks for the props.

Looks fantastic. Any other size rocks below it for a base layer? I'm in the country and would like a country-look too.

Would you happen to have a photo the entire length of driveway from the street? Need to show the wife how it would look.

actually this is a 40x60 detached garage in my backyard. we have a lot of clay around here, so i just laid down 2" of river rock. Lime stone would be a good idea to lay down first (packs hard and keeps weeds out). Its about 50' long and 15' wide.

Thanks for the photo. Mine would end up being about 200' long. I'm not sure how river rock compares to "regular" gravel in price.

Do yourself a huge favor and go with smallest rocks possible...much easier to get to and pull weeds without having to move rocks around. Laying the black cloth under the rocks helps, but the weeds still get through. You will do a lot of weed picking so go with the smaller rocks. Might not make much sense to you, but trust me on this one.

Whatever makes you happy........why would you care what any of us thought? Unless you buy your cars to maximize future trade value as your #1 priority.......... Naw I did not think so.

this post makes no sense what so ever in regards to what the original question was.

I'm thinking perhaps his response may have been for a different thread he's participating in.
