You, Corvette Nut, should receive royalties from Chevy. You’re a GREAT C8 Corvette Ambassador!

The middle one with the rear wing looks great. I think both that wing and the wheels make a huge difference.

Overall, I like the design and layout of the new Mid Engine Corvette. All you need is the proper accent pieces to give it that, "I just destroyed your Entry Level Exotic Car with my Base Corvette! How do you like me now?" attitude...….

Maybe I'm a minority but I like the wheels I've seen so far except for the ones on the base (if the picture is accurate). But I'm also not a fan at all of the base wheels for the 97-99 C5's, all base C6's, and all base C7s.
