I was wondering the same, then got to thinking there probably isn't any more news. The color changes and the Atlantic/Pacific editions are probably about it. Pricing certainly won't be revealed at this early date and the Z06 convert and 8-speed auto are already old news. If pics or samples of the new wheels were not available there is really nothing to show on those either.

Thanks for sharing. 
Would it be reasonable to guess that those pics show at least a representation of the new Orange?

Finally, some non-Z51 wheels that are distinctive without going over the top. Will have to see them in person of course. The black machined-faced might hit all the right notes. Not too busy like the Z06 wheels. Classic 5-spoke design shows all the cool bits. The black portion compliments the other black bits on the car, and the machined-faced spokes are tasteful, but still got that bad-*** look about it. I was going to wait for the 2015 no matter what, but really glad I did.

Glen I had a rather long discussion with several different members of the GM team from both Bowling Green and Detroit. They indicated they have made some great improvements in the reduction of the Orange peel but there is still some. Bu,t looking at early production cars compared to current one, I can see some improvement.

And why would you assume that? It says these are factory accessory wheels. I like 14 spoke wheel also and hope it's not a Z51 size wheel.
