Everybody,
Please....let's calm down here.
All of you DO realize that the "wheels" debate will go on forever. So getting mad and cussing at each other serves NO PURPOSE.
Also, the debate about small wing/big wing is basically the same thing.
And by the way, everyone's expressing extreme displeasure about the big wing WILL NOT CHANGE ANYONE ELSE'S MIND......some of you act like if you bitch and moan enough about the "ugly big wing", others will think like you....it's not going to happen!!!
In fact, it puts a negative taste in people's mouths....and all the negativity is a huge turnoff.
Simply state your position (without whining) on whatever you want to.....and just leave it there.

If I'm not mistaken, it will get a wing and a front splitter before leaving the dealership.

The chrome wheels should NOT continue at the ZR-1 level !! This isn't a cars n coffee/show n shine waxers seniors Corvette. This is why that stigma remains.
Otherwise congrats. Looks sweet! Wheel design is fantastic though!
Of course you would at 58.
This car is not made for you. Graphite wheels and the lower wing for street. This with the high wing will be an absolute killer track rat in the right hands. What the CAR was built for.
If you have the right eyes. You will see exotica in the front nose.
Yeah this looks like a 300K supercar taking a corner. That's what I see.

Yup. I see the plastic wrap protecting the CF in the back of the hatch. I am interested in seeing the car prepped too.

Really shouldn't be available at any level of C7. Hopefully it doesn't continue on the C8 but I doubt it this rate. Have to keep the waxers happy.

Oh look- my WAXRRRs at a CnC, Z with black rims (notice the plate), ZR with Chromes The yellow Z to the right with Black belongs to the new ZR owner. Go figure, we both have both chrome and black.

Kinda' like black lifeless empty wheel wells "normally" go with the dark lifeless empty space between the ears in the heads of those who have them? Know what I mean?
It is my opinion that black/dark wheels are for those unwilling to make the effort to clean the brake dust from them. Second, wheel finish has absolutely no effect on the performance of any car. Third, book values for "chrome wheel" options add residual value to any car available with that option. That only leaves personal preference or taste which has no valid link to the age of the owner or the state of their hair follicle pattern.
