Default Chrome wheels
Wonder why no one has mentioned anything about the embossed (I think that is the right word)CORVETTE on the stock non z-51 chrome wheels?

Just picked mine up yesterday and saw the corvette script on the wheels.

I've seen those wheels and like the script on them. A nice touch IMO.
