Default 2026 Configurator

I was at the dealership building my next Corvette (using their configurator) and I'm told the gray interior is NOT available with the red mystic exterior. Huh? Another question: Has anyone seen the new standard wheels? I loved my chromed wheels in two previous Corvettes, but not so enthusiastic about the new options.

…selling the new base wheels won’t be a problem…I know I’m wanting a set when they hit our for sale section! Go aftermarket and unload those stockers!

Red mystic? No such exterior color. Red Mist Metallic maybe? If you are talking about the Sky Cool/Medium Ash Gray.Habanero accents interior, and Red Mist exterior, it is not a recommended combination. You can order D30 (color Combination Override) to put the two together. There is also the Sky Cool Gray interior which is a recommended combination for Red Mist Metallic.

You need to be more precise in your color names to make sure we are talking about the right colors.

Yes, I meant Red Mist Metallic but took a shortcut.
