Wheel option question
In the regular stingray , there is an option for black wheels with front edges. I really like that look, is that offered in the Z06? I don;t see it any where and the Chevy website does not have the Z06 configuration up yet, anyone know ?

You mean the machined-face black wheels?
With the Z06 there are four choices: Chrome, pearl-gray painted, black-painted, and specra-gray-painted with machined outer edge. That is it. Those four. All four have been photographed on pre-production models and are readily available to look at.
You can always opt for a third-party set of wheels and get what you want. The spectra-gray is worth considering unless you have a black car -- spectra gray is darker than any gray that was ever used on the bodies of Corvettes, so it is noticeably darker than the old Cyber Gray. Those are the wheels on the Laguna Blue convertible that was used to announce the Z06 convertible.

It should be the "specra-gray-painted with machined outer edge". They look black. There are on the Laguna Blue Vert that was released to the press.

Question on the calipers. Are these the J6D "Dark Gray Metallic-painted" Z07 only calipers?
As of now, my LG Vert is coming with the standard red calipers but I'm really not certain about the red calipers on blue car. As I read the order guide, my only other options are black and yellow?
I want these!
