Default Shipping delay for Shark Gray

The wait and 4 week shipping delay was worth it.

Default wheel type

The C7 wheels are the same as the Merc. The Ferrari Italia Motegi are a slightly different fitment/rim design and the Porsche and racing 458 Ferrari Italia are "center lock" type wheels used only in racing, not standard 5 bolt attachment. However, the 7 spoke design is similar.

Default lowered?

It is lowered all the way on just the stock bolts. I have driven cars with low front spoilers for years and am used to being careful. At present, I think it is sufficiently lowered without going to an extreme.

Lowering the car and putting on the new wheels were the first things I did on the 2nd day of ownership.

I figured the cutting edge looks of the C7 (a little bit of "boy racer") should be complimented by something other than a traditional 5 spoke wheel. However, I am used to being in the minority and also prefer silver wheels.
