Default Mine

'14 torch red conv. 7mt Z51 with the BLACK wheels AND calipers; I sure do like it especially replacing my '12 GS conv with so much chrome that I once had a robin attack a wheel while I was parked...it just wasn't me (just ask the bird). I find my current (and last, retiring soon) car classy and abit less
dramatic.

Even the new exhaust system I'm putting on (Corsa Sport) I was tempted to add the black exhaust tips but they are like another 500 - 600 bucks so I said nah and went with the stock chrome tips......at 62 years young I have no desire to pursue the "bling" aspect....

Barney, are you looking for real red wheels or wheel options for a Torch Red C7?

Neither, thanks. I'm looking for pictures of Torch red wheels on a Torch C7. I now I have painted Z51 wheels and am considering having them powdercoated/painted Torch Red to match the car.

To be very honest, I'd say to stop considering this option. For the record, that is not my car in the photo below...
