Anybody got pictures of a torch red Z06 with the 10-spoke blade, pearl nickel Z06 wheels? Might be placing a factory order tomorrow and I've never seen a pic of this combo anywhere on the internet. Only ones I've seen are on long beach red. Thanks.

Edit: The color of the wheels on Chevy's "build & price" page are way darker than they are in real life so can't get a good idea what the combo looks like.

Appreciate the effort but that pic is from the build & price page on chevrolet.com. The pearl nickel wheels are a much lighter color than that. I was able to cut and paste the wheels from a long beach red Vette onto a torch red but its hard to make it all line up and look right. I've been unable to find a single real world picture of the setup that I want. Guess I have different tastes than every other Vette owner on the planet.

pilot, here's what the pearl nickle looks like with torch red. Sorry it's not a Z06, but hopefully it helps.

Thanks for posting. I saw a Grand Sport with those wheels at Criswell. Really looks nice. Still haven’t seen the 10-spoke blade, pearl nickel wheels on a torch red car.

You are welcome sir. Sadly the pearl nickel comes out more silver in pictures but, I really like the looks with the TR. In person is definitely the best way to know for sure, and it's not always easy to find one in the wild.

Old and new, I'm a little partial to Torch Red. My 2010 GS the day I traded for the 2019 GS about a week ago.

Had some professional shots done of my '15 Z51 Pacific Design Package!
Had some professional shots done last week and just got them back. They look amazing! This car is just beautiful, and in the best color of course!

Very nice looking car. I just traded in my Z51 and the wide-body cars are such a huge upgrade.

Keeping the Torch alive, as they say!

Just traded my nice 2016 Stingray on a 2019 GS! Just great so far! I am liking the retro Red/Black/Chrome look. Kudos to the new paint line too, it's pretty impressive.

There are a lot of great colors but as far as I’m concerned there is only one color option for a Corvette and this is it.

Prince knew what color a Corvette should be.
