Great looking ride, congratulations. DSO is my wife's favorite color and it sure does look good on a C7! Bonus, with 51K on the clock you don't have to worry about driving it everywhere.

Beautiful car. Enjoy it. I definitely need to start driving my car and put some miles on it!!

Do you know if the 2015 came with Premiere Edition wheels? Were they an option?
