This is my build. I decided to stay with GM wheels and avoid any potential warranty issues with the aftermarket.

Just get the stock wheels and look for aftermarket wheels after you actually get the car.
I’m getting a black convertible with the stock wheels and I actually like the way they look.

yes...they can be ordered now. They are around $1500 and will deduct from that if you send your stock wheels (I think $500) which they plan to chrome and re-sell

Silver and white (also cmg) to me - look best on the C8 thus far. But the only critique I would have is without another "pop" contrasting color to compliment the silver which shows the lines of the car best especially in direct sunlight? The car becomes boring. So throwing in red or blue seats - calipers wheels etc - really makes silver exciting vs the bland color it usually is (my C6 was silver).
