Default Z51 wheels

I see all this talk about Z51 wheels. My Z51 premier vert came with chrome spoke wheels, not the split spokes. I'm OK with them but I'm just wondering why. My car was one that was ordered and when it arrived the buyer backed out.

Premier Editions showcase a lot of LPO options (dealer installed accessories). Those wheels are an LPO offering, an upgrade from split spoke Z51 wheels.

Premier Editions are fully loaded cars offered to dealers who sold a sufficient number of Corvettes. They are not offered for customer ordering.

The Z51 premier edition comes standard with torque directional chrome wheels ....19"20". They almost look like the base chrome 5 spoke , but there is a very slight directional curve to the chrome spoke.
