"Offensive"? Seriously? I can understand annoying but offensive? BTW, are you aware that all 2016 Corvettes will leave the factory with flat-bottom wheels?

Really like the look of the flat bottom wheel in the C7 Z06. I like the wheel in my C7 Z51 but would have preferred the flat bottom. Just think it looks cool. Don't care enough to change it though.
