The wheels are ugly

I like the color, the interior looks nice.

Overall the vert looks pretty cool....................but those wheels, really????

Is GM serious about installing those wheels? All 4 wheels are the same! Spoke direction should not be the same for right/left sides!

UGH!

I think the wheels are alright for a vert. But you're right on the spoke direction. They momentarily goofed up with the passenger's side, I'm pretty sure. That side is backing up... lol.

That's true, but then they would have to do the same thing for the Z51 rotors too. Same directional biased typed Z51 rotors as the C6 except now slotted not just holes. IMO if they don't change both C7 wheels and Z51 rotors it would be even more noticeable. Ain't gonna happen!

When you were looking at the C7, did you happen to notice what people were saying about the car?
