Default stock,gray painted,polished aluminum wheels?

I’ve ordered a silver/black/black convertible today. Can someone tell and show me what the stock wheels look like? You know, the wheel you get if you don’t choose an upgrade of gray painted or polished.

Does anybody have a picture of the Competition Gray painted aluminum wheel option (for only $295.00 more)? This sounds like it would look good with a silver car.

Anyway, I probably will purchase an after market wheel of some sort but I’m just not sure! But I’m sure enough not to spend the $ on the polished 5 spoke aluminum option for $1,295.00 and then just change them out unless someone can justify this action.

Possibly like having a 67 Camero that came with a Rally Sport wheels that we all changed to Craiger 5 spokes.

Sure wish I would have saved those old rims!!!!!!

This is the standard wheel on my silver coupe. The center caps on mine are polished.

I saw the silver C6 with the standard wheels. I really liked the color combo. That's how I'll be ordering mine. I couldn't see spending $1295 for the polished wheels. Just my opinion.

After polishing the centers, where did you get the emblems to replace the original ones after polishing?

Here's the comp grey on a VR. I think they would look killer on a silver with ebony interior, IMHO.

Thanks. There are a few more on my web-site (see sig below) if interested. That is Clear Lake. It feeds out to Galveston Bay, which feeds into the Gulf of Mexico. It's about five minutes from NASA in the southeast suburbs of Houston.
