Default machine faced wheel

Does anyone have a picture of the non-Z51's machine faced wheel? I don't think I've seen any, including on none of the test mules. Or does anyone have a pic of a prior corvette with machine faced wheels as an example of what the 14 ones will look like?

The wheel in the picture is from a C-6 Corvette. Is this the same machined faced wheel used on the C-7?

The wheel you are showing in this image are actually the C6 machine face five spoke wheels.

The picture is a blow up of a rather small one, so the detail is muddy. But the C7 Machine Face will not look like the C6 version (unfortunately).

The spokes on the C7 wheels are either the "double spokes" as on the ZR1 or the "standard/base" LT's - that on one side of the spoke goes straight into the hub and the other side goes is in at a 45 degree angle into the hub.
The colors and finish will be different options.
