Default Pearl Nickel..wheel option on the Z06?
What color is that exactly? Sounds like it may be a winner.

The PDF gives code numbers. Maybe there's an equivalent on the Chevy website?

And if so I really like that finish. Classy and mean. Looks richer than competition gray.

I'd be willing to bet that this is the Pearl Nickel finish. According the options list, they have 4 different wheel finishes including a comp grey with machined spokes. I bet that looks great.

They take the effort to remove all the chrome lettering and even remove it from the cross flags, but they still offer chrome wheels, lol. :facepalm:

Is that Cyber Grey?

Agreed, however I would have solid black interior and would lose the hood stripe.(not a fan)

I agree chrome is out, but the Z06 chrome wheels will look a hell of a lot better than the Z51 in chrome.

I love the cyber in pictures! I guess the bright lights change the color? My c7 cyber that I had always looks bluish.
