Hey everyone, I just bought a 14 M7 Z51 3LT in night race blue that will be delivered on Friday. Yes, I bought it off of carvana, but it was quite literally exactly what I was looking for. I'm a long time car guy, but 1st time vette owner that jumped ship from the mopar crowd when I sold my redeye last year. Great car, but the mopar community is big time toxic and lots of goings on that I didn't want to be associated with. So here I am.
I'll post my own pics on Friday after I take delivery, but for now, here's a couple of theirs of the car;

Welcome to both Corvette ownership and to the forum. Great choice in a 2014 C7 (yes, I am biased) and hope you get many trouble free miles of driving pleasure from the car.

Welcome, Paul. It's interesting to hear about the Mopar crowd and community. Hopefully things can settle down, but I guess we can only control ourselves at the end of the day - no matter what kind of crowd and community we are surrounded with.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Well, today is the day! The car is supposed to arrive in a few hours and I couldn't be more excited. I know that this probably sounds super cliche, but I'm finally going to own a car that I've wanted since I was a kid. It's a pretty awesome day!
it's been a solid 24+ hours since my car arrived and I can definitely say that i am completely in love with it. The pictures did absolutely no justice to the night race blue paint and the car looks amazing in real life. That said, those same pics made the wheels look a lot different in color. Come to find out that they are chrome, and I absolutely HATE chrome. Don't get me wrong, they look ok in person and I've gotten a lot of compliments already, but they will not be on the car for long.
More than likely, I'm going with an 18/19 setup or a square 19" setup because the 20's look a bit goofy. I really want a set of Apex ML-10RT's but unfortunately they don't have a narrowbody fitment _(yet)
Interestingly enough, I have a set of these wheels in 18X10 +40 and they physically fit the car, but the offset is just a bit too much and there is some poke. That said, they might be the perfect fit for autoX, although I might have to go with a slightly taller tire out back. Point being, I was able to get an idea of what a properly fitted set of these wheels would look like on the car.
Finally pulled the trigger.
Don't get me wrong, they look ok in person and I've gotten a lot of compliments already, but they will not be on the car for long.
