Sky Pilot (by the Animals),

I don't like any of the C7 wheels so far either. In fact I'm still trying to figure out if my Gumby polished aluminum wheels from my 09 C6 will fit a standard (non Z51) C7 since that's what I'll be buying in late 2015. Anybody tried it???

Finish is brush tinted clear.

Retail: $7700.00 is what I was told by seller. By his report, he purchased directly from HRE.

This is a quote I got from a forum dealer several months ago for P104:
19/20 HRE wheels in standard finish: 8300.00 shipped

These were for wider front/rear wheels so I think the 7700.00 is probably accurate.

Wheels look Great ... Gotta love HRE's.

Silver looks good on the C7. Especially with Red guts. It's probably the best looking interior color you can get in a silver car.

The new wheels are beautiful. And the fact you got a great deal on them makes it even better.

Absolutely stunning. As the final touch I would try to remove the center emblem if possible and replace it with something stingray related.

Here is a little food for thought. See how the red was done on the lower fascia... I bet on your car this would look awesome. Bring the silver down lower in the back.

HRE's are amazing. The P101's are my dream wheels. Just too darn expensive. If I curbed one of them I'd have an aneurism!
