REDZED2

Hey Deb... first relax.. I was just more stunned and was unaware that GM was smart enough to offer the older, mature and rich the ZR1 with shiny or dark rims. I make my own payments on my Z as well and wrench on it as much as possible at my old age.

Only a C6 Z06 yet still smells and looks of new. Nice pic of your group. To each his own but this will (wheel thing) never die till the baby boomers do or GM stops making Corvettes all together or (heaven forbid only electric in the next couple decades). ENJOY ALL! WHERE CAN YOU GET THAT MUCH FOR THAT LITTLE? To me it's a lot of $$$... when you compare it to what it can whoop on the track it's cheap. That's why it's America's ONLY real sports car.

If I was forced to get chrome wheels on my ZR1 without the possibility of ever changing them, I'd pass...even if the car was offered for free. Gross.

Purchased my last Z06 from Matick, real nice people to do business with

I look at it like this...if everyone had the same tastes, the world would be a very boring place. Let's be happy for the people who have been lucky enough to grab one of these beauties. If it's not your car, just be happy for the folks. Let your car speak for you. If you don't prefer chrome wheels, I will know this when I see you pull up with black ones and vice versa. We shouldn't need to resort to shaming people because of their likes or dislikes.

I like chrome wheels on some cars. Most cars I've owned I've wanted chrome wheels on. However, in this instance I chose to order black wheels because I believe they are more menacing and makes the car look bad ***! Am I right...no....am I wrong..no....this is because this is my opinion and my car. Just something to think about folks. With all the hate going on in the world...would be nice for us to celebrate what we all know and love and just be happy that we are Corvette enthusiasts...because at the end of the day, that is what bonds us together. Kumbaya my Lord...kumbayaaaa...lol

Love the red! makes it pop

I like the Torch Red as well. However no matter what color/finish, I'm not digging the wheels.

Can't happen soon enough, ugh

Every one to there own liking I personally like the black wheels so that's what i got on my new ZR1 i think it makes the car stand out!! Just my opinion!

DebRedZR1

Can't wait to see the RED from the new paint facility

I love my C7Z also, for the $$$ you can't beat it. It looks and performs like one BA Beast should at a fraction the cost of the other Supercars. My point was if the ZR was ...... and it is an upgraded version of the Z those comments basically insulted the Z06s. Enjoy the C7s, things are going to change.


THIS THREAD WAS TO CONGRATULATE THE NEW OWNER NOT DEBATE WHEELS, TAKE IT TO ANOTHER THREAD OR BETTER YET ARGUE WITH EACH OTHER VIA MESSAGE

Absolutely great people, sending a a lot of people their way.

Thank you so much for your comments. On point and well stated Exactly why I went with black, all though I love the chromes also.

In person it has to be even more BA

The paint looks real nice on that thing; particularly since it's straight off the truck. Look forward to the post-PDI pics.

Beautiful. Might have to swing by Matick to see if the owner has already picked it up...

Hope he enjoys it for a long time. No surprise he's not a member here with all the jealous negative bitching.

My 2018 WGG Z06 Z07 3LZ 7-speed has chrome wheels and I love it. It is used primarily as a track car, not a 'cars & coffee' Starbucks cruiser.

This weekend I'll be instructing for NASA @ VIR (if it doesn't snow).

I get tons of compliments on it in the street and in the pits at the track.

I think the chromes make it pop. SO thinks so as well, and so does her daughter & teenage friends.

Had chromes on my 2015 Z51 3LT as well...

Instructing for Carolinas PCA last weekend at CMP... She's beautiful!

Judgment Day

Matick on the "East Side"? As in George Matick out on Telegraph in Redford, MI? Or am I thinking of another dealership?

I'm asking because I'm about as east as it gets in Michigan, so it would be west to me no matter how you slice it. That's where I bought my Grand Sport - I might have to visit AJ and the staff there soon.

meadowz06

And you your Z06 looks like...........?

MacMulkin

Wow....some of the responses in this thread...

Why do people care so much if GM offers chrome wheels as an option on a Corvette? If people were not ordering them, and demand wasn't high enough for them, GM would kill them off.

Nobody is twisting your arm to buy them. There are plenty of customers out there who love Chrome wheels and absolutely despise the silver or black painted wheels.

So, if they decide to spend *their* money, for chrome wheels on *their* car - why do other people get bent out of shape over it and post negative comments about the options an owner chose? It's not your car, it's not your money, and they're not hurting you.

I remember a couple generations ago - when people were getting pissy because GM wasn't offering enough design options for customers to choose for their Corvettes.

Now, GM offers more design options on the Corvette than ever before in the history of the car, and people still feel the need to whine about what one person chooses for their ride.

Life is too short folks...and it's all about having options and the freedom to make choices...

Just my two cents...I'll step off my soap box now...

P.S. Congrats to the guy who ordered that ZR1. Enjoy your new ride and ignore the naysayers!

DebRedZR1

LOL, I live on the West side @ Grand Rapids. AJ is correct Unfortunately I am out of state or I would be #stalking it

My point exactly, by insulting the ZR it's insulting our Z06s

Well stated, thank you. I feel bad I posted seeing some of these responses but then there are the positive remarks such as yours. I'd take the ZR with pink wheels lol, not that hard to change

MacMulkin

Don't feel bad! Personally speaking, I enjoy seeing the pics coming in of recent ZR1 deliveries and how owners are personalizing them given the options available to them.

It would be a pretty boring world if all we ever saw were white Corvettes with black interiors and silver painted wheels.

ufaj26

Man, that paint pops!!! Looks awesome !!!!!

I can't wait until the black fad is over and they kill black wheels...Chrome rocks!
