how many of you have this wheel
 
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...1cdec031f1.jpg


My car is 1 of 109, 55% of those should be manual like mine and 2.4% have this wheel so 3 Carlisle blue with these wheels?. Should be about 240ish sets for all base 2012 Corvettes....I like the wheel pretty good but can't find pictures of other cars with this wheel yet. Its a painted and polished version of the standard 5 spoke wheel. It also came in chrome for 12 and 13. Not sure if this wheel was on 13's.. RQ1 is the code.

Don't have them on the car now, but they were my favorite before I went wider. I had mine powder coated and machined for a custom look.

Mine is an 2011 and those are the stock wheels I have as well. 1LT Cyber Grey

Same wheels on mine and it’s a 2013 3LT. I would rather the chrome version but these look good. Tim

Yes same wheel but those are painted without the machined edge.... :cheers: Nice car..

Thanks for all the replies...now I know it was used sparingly for up to three model years...I can go see how many were sold.


For sure a rare wheel that looks nice so thanks.

Machine face wheels ARE kinda rare
 
I know its an old thread but those wheels first released in 2011 and came on my 2011 coupe. The comp gray/machine face was $895 upgrade from the standard silver painted wheel. They are "kinda" rare because most base cars had the silver painted wheels unless you ponied up the extra $895.. Also - most cars from 11-13 were Grand Sports. Not many base models were produced relative to the GS and Z06 models between 2011 and 2013.

Had it , this was the perfect fit for my car.

slowtealz28 05-14-2021 10:36 PM

I don’t have those. I have the ugly, but not that ugly because they’re grey stock grand sport wheels.

jbc1995fb 05-15-2021 12:09 AM

I would say only you have “that” wheel. Others have similar wheels. Lol.

bigjeff1222 05-17-2021 11:39 AM

Those chrome wheels were a $1200 upgrade from the standard painted silver wheels.

I had them on one of my C6's in the past powdercoated in black. Great looking wheel!
