Close but not quite. It will be beautiful. I have a GS in Admiral Blue with silver wheels. Love it. I spent some time with an Admiral Blue Z51 with black wheels. Looked great, but I'm not a fan of black wheels. I think they make the entire wheel well look like a black hole. That said, my silver wheels are a pain to keep clean, get dirty almost immediately after washing with stock pads.
I have never seen admiral blue up close, only passed one going the opposite direction a few months ago. If I had seen it in person before I bought my collector edition I probably would have ordered the blue.
Since I saw that car on the road I have played on the Chevy website and "built" an admiral blue GS with the gray center stripe, 2 tone gray interior and machine faced wheels. I have never seen machine faced wheels in person either, but they look like a good compromise between shiny chrome & black?

I have not only seen one I bought one but I really liked the stripes so I had them added. I liked how is look without the stripes but I love how is looks with them!
Saw one this past weekend at a local show. The black wheels dulled down the whole car. The Admiral Blue is a great color but without stripes and black wheels it loses a lot looks wise. It needs either stripes or chrome/silver wheels.
I see one every day. I get so many compliments on the car it is starting to get embarrassing. In bright sunlight the color is really amazing. I love my black wheels with black lug nuts. I could live with polished aluminum but chrome, never.
I went from Torch Red to Admiral Blue. I love the AB but I do miss my TR.
It's understandable since "all Corvettes are red, the rest are just mistakes" (according to the book of the same name). Plus, red IS the fastest color.
