I’m not only getting the wheels I love, but finding out that less than 10% of buyers will be getting the silver “snowflakes” means my car will be even rarer. Everyone getting a Torch Red is gonna have black wheels and a black and red interior (and yes, I mean most - not all). My Natural dipped with snowflakes is gonna stand out and look great at the car shows!!! Yay! Thanks for making this poll!

Ah, I did not know buyers would also receive the standard wheels too. Wish they’d have just offered the wheels without including the standard ones too.

GM if your listening fix this. Offer these wheels for $1300-1400 as an option. Everytime I build a car I struggle with the wheels. I don't love any of the options but like the Trident's the best but not for $2600 and I don't want a set of wheels laying around I would basically have to give away.

Ideally I would prefer the Trident wheels for my Zeus Bronze Metallic but instead of the Sectra gray color that area should be painted in the Pewter color. I have ordered the Spectra Gray and may decide to paint them in the Pewter or a light Bronze color.

I truly hope that 25% of C8s will NOT be ordered with black wheels.
Garbage trucks have black wheels for a reason.
Not to mention, you're much better served putting that money towards aftermarket forged wheels instead.

STD Wheels ordered. Track wheels. Z51 tires. Then Hoosiers mounted later.

The factory wheels are very bland, but remember, they are supposed to be to some degree in order to acceptable to the largest group of people. Since we all have different tastes the one that fits them all isn't going to be the best or #1 choice for many given the chance to do something different.

I do like the base bright wheels but if I buy a C8 Z somewhere down the road they may have different wheels options anyway so may be moot. But if I go aftermarket it would probably be HRE similar to my Porsche 997 Turbo.
