Default Spice Red package in silver vert

AT the Bash I saw a photo of a silver convertible with the new spice red package. It has a red roof!!!! Looks awesome, can't wait to see it in person.

Yes they have a spice red like top now too. This double combo should look great with white, the new sun set red and silver. They really needed a luxury red interior and top.

Did anyone get a good picture of that slide at the Bash? I'm curious about the polished wheels (R86) that go with that package. These are the two slides:

From what I can see of the pics above, the Z06 vert at the top has Z06 wheels, the Z06 coupe at the bottom has the Z06 Blade wheels, and the cut off pic of the silver vert in the middle has the Stingray polished wheels. Good pictures have been posted on the forum of that wheel on a display stand at the Bash

So from the information released so far, is the consensus that, as I believe, that this is the new R86 polished wheel?

As far as I know that is correct, as it's the only polished wheel I'm aware of. These wheels were on display on a Silver Stingray in the GM display at the Woodward Dream Cruise last August , they looked great in the sun

It does look like a good color combo. Looking forward to seeing one in person when the '16s hit the dealer lots.

Looks a little darker than crystal red- I would love to see both reds side by side.

Yes, and its very matchy matchy to the paint color. But I still think the new metallic red is a little to dark.

Normally, I would never consider a red interior because all the prior reds I've seen for Vettes look like something spiderman would wear, but this red looks very rich and beautiful.

The GM interior designer called it "Luxury Red" I think some of the changes in richer looking colors and power pull down trunk lid are being added to make the car more appealing to a Cadillac buyer or similar still wanting an XLR type of car that looks more refined.

I like red interiors and have the two tone Black/Red in my C6 that I love. But Adrenaline is just too bright of a red for me. It may be good for Spiderman but to me is looks cheap. I was hoping GM would come up with another red and sure enough they did. I also didn't like any of the previous wheels and now they came up with the new Motorsports R86 polished aluminum wheel that I love also. Spice red interior and Motorsports wheel has my name all over it.
