Change standard wheels ordered with car-non Z51 version. Want chrome wheels, just don't like the ones that are available on the C7. Anybody have any suggestions for a reasonable priced wheel that we know will actually fit the C7 design?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Going from dealer lot to tint shop. Than a V1.
Than probably tires, I am not anticipating on the stockers lasting very long
Also, for people getting the DWS'. First of great tire. But why are you getting all seasons on a vette? Do you drive it in the snow or freezing weather? If not, get summer tires. I have ran the Conti Extreme Contact DW (the summer only version) and they are fantastic in the rain, and perform well in the dry. For a near track tire, get the NT05. The DW will last longer, but I have had great experiences with both in a car with less tire and similar performance number than these vettes will have. (Aftermarket modified of course)

Lets face it most everyone will be modifying their rear end tragedy.
So odds are this bezel piece is in your future , along with a trying to figure out what to do with the carbon flash diffuser.

Rip the entire rear fascia off the car and throw it on the side of the house until I can find a weekend to go shooting in the desert. Then I'm gonna have me some target practice with my FN SLP 
If I can't find an aftermarket replacement right away, I'll just throw some official GM camo over the back and tell everyone I'm driving a C8 mule.

There are a hundred ways you could have worded this so as not to be insulting and demeaning to everyone in the section that happens to think the rear end changes work fine on the car. Please try to take that in to consideration when you post something like this. I know that this is probably in conceivable to you that some might actually be ok with and appreciate the design but it's true. In fact I happen to be one of them. Please make an effort going forward to express your opinion without denigrating everyone else with a differing opinion. So please try. Try hard.

I love the rear...no tweaks there other than popping on a already purchased solid black license plate frame. Next up will be a tint job to complete my stealthy CG.
Will probably replace the Corvette name on the rear with an after market "Stingray" badge. IMO there are enough Corvette logos (Flags) throughout the bodywork.
After that, I am going to cherish the first time I let my 16 year old son drive it and watch his smile light up the sky. Priceless!
