Perhaps, but what is known can't be unknown!

Would it still be a factory stock Corvette?

Different wheels on each side is..apparently..an emerging new trend. I see a lot more cars doing this. They are not Corvettes btw. I don't have an opinion either way, but I suspect someone looking at one side versus the other side would have a different experiences. If I were to do this, which I wouldn't, I would do spectra grey on one side and gloss black on the other side.

Because of the different wheel sizes on the C7s, Chevrolet recommends swapping the fronts, and also, swapping the rears.

I can remember back in the sixties some people would put maybe five-spoke mags on the front and aluminum slots on the back, but this is new to me. It's your dime.
