FIRST LOOK: OEM 2015 Z51 Wheels w/Red Trim
 
Love them but they only come in satin black not gloss like the ones seen at SEMA on the Pacific Edition. The stripe is pretty clean and painted into a groove in the wheel rather than just painted onto the lip. Gloss would've looked better in my opinion but on the bright side the satin doesn't show brake dust at all...

Very nice! You should consider some black lugs as well. Did you upgrade your exhaust as well or just your tips? If so who's tips are they?

Have the black lugs but haven't put on yet! Complete Borla exhaust with their prism tips and diffuser. We were one of their C7 R&D cars

Thought they looked familiar! I already called Borla and was told they won't fit my stock pipes but they my make a set that fits in the future.

Very nice wheels. Looks so much better than all black wheel or the cheap wheel band stuff.

Not usually a fan of black wheels, but with the red stripe those work well on the car. :thumbs:

Love it.

They look good! Hopefully they will come out in gloss black also.

I don't know if they are a factory option or factory authorized.
They come with a yellow stripe also, I think GM is just capitalizing on the aftermarket accessories.

Nice touch.

Mike Campbell 12-22-2014 10:58 AM

I like them!:thumbs: That red ring takes away the "Geez, did someone steal that guys wheels?" look.

I despise black wheels, but the red stripe is an improvement.

Any more pics of those Borla tips?

DBR9 KLR 12-22-2014 03:41 PM

We did these wheels in a similar style on a CRM C6 for SEMA years back...

Don't know if they're factory option but they are new release products for 2015. They come in yellow as well...
