Mine isn't a design package car but I have the R86 Motorsport wheels on it that I bought from a GM parts house for ~ $2300.

Default Wow!

Walt White Coupe.......You Rock. Thanks!!!

First, your Vette is BEAUTIFUL. I have NEVER seen a white Corvette look better!

First, I ordered the wheels for my 2016 Z51 coupe. As you know, they cost me over $4000. However, from what I have seen, they are beautiful. YOU just confirmed that. I have toured the (local) HRE facility and they offer amazing choices. However, these "factory OEM" wheels are better. I just wish I would have waited and ordered them through parts like you did,
Anyone want to by my original painted Z51 wheels??

Default Your Motorsport Wheels

Guess I will find out soon enough...but are the wheels clear coated? I have polished aluminum wheels for way too long!
Thanks,

DonaldK, did you search on CF? I posted a thread regarding Twilight Blue Design Package, which I order TPW 10/26. I attached Pics of the exact color combo I ordered, and yes the design packages include the new polished aluminum Motorsport wheels.

Thanks to the two guys who posted the pictures of their awesome Vettes. I am so happy I ordered these wheels, although it appears I could have bought them from my local parts dept for almost half the factory price....Oh well!! My build date is 10/19. Getting excited!
Thanks...

No. The Z06 has it's own special wheels for that package.

Walt's coupe looks so nice with the white vents, good job. And the wheels are so nice, I hope I can own a set of them someday.
