Default [PICS]427 Convertible Wheel Comparison

We just got in a couple loads of the new, 2013 Corvette 427 Convertibles and I can now put up some comparison pictures to show all 3 wheels.

I apologize in advance since the cars just came off of the truck they are a little dirty!

Please post your comments and opinions so we have an idea of what works best!

Chrome 427 Wheels (from the ZR1)


Competition Black 427 Wheel


Standard 427 Wheel


Here are some pictures of the whole cars so you can a better idea of the whole look:

I like the standard 427 'vert wheel the best (on that model), but I can see where the black version would go better with certain colors. I think the chrome wheels from the ZR1 should stay on the ZR1...

JMO !

Not a fan of the new style of wheel. ZR1 wheels in Black look killer, how do I know?

Big Fan of the Standard 427 Wheels.

Does anyone know if you can order just the Wheels from a Dealer or someone aftermarket.

I would buy them to put on my Vette.

Prefer the Standard by far.

Then the Black, a distant 2nd.


Thanks for posting Dave.

I loved the standard 427 wheel when I saw it at the NCM Bash and your pics confirm that I still like it the best by a longshot. Thanks for posting.

This truck has 427 Convertibles in Velocity Yellow, Crystal Red and Night Race Blue as well as Torch Red and Blade Silver with the standard wheel.

Here's a few pictures, but it's beginning to get a little dark. I grab some more pictures tomorrow and post them up!

The dark car under the pictures of the yellow is a Night Race Blue 427 with Blue Top and Yellow Calipers. This car is incredible! I'll get some nice pictures in the son tomorrow morning.

The 427 wheels rule. They are the best by far.

I like the standard wheels the best. The ZR1 wheels aren't bad, although I'm not really into chrome in most cases. As to black wheels, to me it's the easiest way to make a vette look hideous, but I know for some it's the latest in thing. For black wheel lovers, they will probably be fine as its always hard to make out what design the wheel is, cause it's black.
