My allocation should come next week. It's either caffeine or orange. If I eat the caffeine ill definitely get the wheels done in a bronze crome or something similar.

Good luck! My almost as controversial Rapid Blue should be built in 12 days and Museum Delivery 12/1. The excitement builds for all of us in line.

Do check out the pewter wheels offered by Chevy for 2020 and 2021. Very classy look with Zeus and I expect also with Caffeine. One thought is to order yours with the base wheels and find a place to powdercoat them to get the effect. Maybe plasti-dip would let you try out the look before spending the bucks to do something permanent.

Color is very similar to the 1974 Corvette I had. It was a replacement for the 1974 Torch Red that was stolen while I was at Carswell AFB outside of Ft Worth, TX for AAFES management training. I had the Red one less than 6 months before being stolen, obviously it was never found. Drove the Brown one back to Augusta GA and left it with my wife and took her 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass back to Texas to finish AAFES program.

Those pics don't help as far as changing minds. Black wheels on it don't help either. Can't put my finger on it, but it's just off.

It CAN work. Tan interior; no black wheels. I went a different direction, but if I REALLY valued having a rare build vs. a color that just hit me perfectly, this would have been a decent build...
Apparently, Steve McQueen's Ferrari. This color is REALLY close:

I think the Caffeine is beautiful.
Those pictures sold me on the color, but you’re correct the black wheels would need to go.
I might be ordering a 2022 Chevy Tahoe from the factory, because they are unavailable in Northern California right now.
I wish Caffeine was available on the Tahoe.

I bet it would look awesome with some carbon fiber wheels and trim pieces.
