From what I can see they are! Looking very good. Where are people starting to get photos of '16's?

OP: do you have any more photos of these wheels, maybe head on? Or any other photos of '16's?

Thanks for posting.

yes they did have a grey black 2 tone. I thought i had a picture but cant find it. It did look really nice. On the seats the grey is in the center of the seat and runs up the back to the head rest. The carpet was grey as well. A nice combo.

Are you saying the headrest was gray or the gray stopped below the headrest so that only the insert was gray?

Is this the car? (Photo courtesy of Bloomington Gold Corvettes)

Thank you. This is actually a huge surprise for those of us that ordered the two tone interior.

If you have followed this saga you will recall that in the Bash photo this option looked quite a bit different than it did In the GM 2016 Corvette update brochure. In the Bash photo the headrest was either red or gray and so were the seat inserts with the rest of the seat in black. In the changes brochure only the inserts were red or gray and the rest of the seat was black including the headrest.

So this car follows the original Bash two tone interior pattern for NO suede. I'm totally confused at this point and not sure which my car is going to arrive with now. But I have to think this car was the final version.

i hope it looks like the one i saw. I thought it was the best looking interior of the cars they had on display. The blue was interesting as well.

I love the new base wheels, they look great! It's nice to finally see a good picture of them on a car and I can't wait to see them in person.

How bad was the paint on those 2016s? Any better than what we have seen on the 15s? Of course, GM could have prepped them to fool us into thinking they addressed the issues.

to me they looked the same as the 14 and 15. The darker the color the more it shows. The sides of the black c7r were the same as i have seen in the past, having it tilted on its side realy showed the op, not real smooth. The hood and trunk looked pretty good. The white vert looked the best. The yellow wasnt that bad. The orange, grey, and red showed some op. I did not notice a big improvement. if you look at the first picture you can see the op in the orange paint, as well as, the red car
