Default C6 Wheels on my C7

Pictures of GM Accessory wheels on my C6 and then on my C7. I am very happy they fit! I had been fretting about this ever since my car was ordered.

Last I read, only mods can delete threads. As to the wheels, I didn't expect it to look like that---it looks very good!!!!

I agree, beautiful car. What's hard to believe is that both of those cars are fuel injected!

In 1957 the corvette as well as the regular cars were fuel injected. Always liked this year and the fuel injection in those cars. The C6 has the insignia from the year. The C7 is the first Stingray since it was named on the 63 Vette. The insignia on the C7 is from the 63/64 Vettes.
Yes, they are fuel injected...

I think the wheels look great on the new C7!! I once saw these wheels on a Forum Member's Vette and PM'd to find out what wheels they were. Didn't know they were stock GM optional wheels. I think they look great as is, and even better applied to a nice Vette.

Looks good to me!

Can you post the name of the wheels and sizes? Can you take another photo, straight on and center cap level to the wheels?

Hi Larry!

We received the fuel rail cover. It is safe here next to my desk. I am trying to figure the best way to have Tadge Juechter sign it. Not sure when he will be back in Bowling Green. Let me investigate that.
