My 2014 is a base model 1LT with hardly any options aside from NPP. I don't see a ton of C7 Corvettes in the wild in my area, but I have never seen another C7 with the same wheels I have. Are they the entry level base model wheels? 18" in front and 19" in back.

This is from page 26 of the 2014 C7 brochure with all the wheels available this MY.
Yes. Cars and Coffee last year. Bought it there three years ago.
Thanks; thought that might have been the case. We lived in Clifton Park fom '79 to '02, and I checked out their Rt. 9 showroom many times. I knew they'd relocated to the Scotia area, and seeing you're in Glenville I took a guess.

Those are like the base wheels (which were painted), but the chrome wheels were an extra cost option. I originally had them on my 2014. Nice looking wheel.
Please forgive our ignorance (of which there is plenty), but do not some call those “Gumby” wheels?
We were recently at a Corvette gathering and saw a set of these which the owner had someone powder coat the barrels and spokes gloss black, and then machine and clear coat the spoke faces. To our eyes, it was a very good and interesting look.
I actually prefer the base wheels than my Z51 upgraded wheels.
The base wheels, IMO, are simple yet elegant. In addition, it looks much easier to clean and polish.

I feel the same way. At first when I bought the car 10 years ago, I was always looking at upgrading the "base" wheels and almost did several times, but never followed through. I'm glad I didn't and now they just seem right for the car and I have no desire to change.
