The first five were arctic white (I have vin #5)...
My guess is they may have built a separate test fleet which shipped out for all of the press to utilize as we are well aware the 2015's are still going through quality control. So the press 2015 cars were most likely built alongside the last 2014's were coming off the line.

The point I was trying to make, there are colors I would not own but I would never tell anyone that it's nice or the type of wheels are ugly. I picked Black wheels because chrome is not for me but looks gray on some colors. I picked the SG because I wanted some contrast. There are too many colors that look like the vents and CF roof just are washed away. Again just me. I would never pick out someone's choice and say it's bad etc. I now sounds lame but I think if we all had the same color cars it would be very boring.
Love the Picture. ;-)

No that was not directed towards you, I just replyed on your pic...
I went with Shark Gray to be something different. I've had 6 vetts and
2 Red, Blue, White and 2 Black's. Not able to pull off the yellow (love It) i'm just to old... Loved the Silver but have a friend that has one and the rest are just not what I wanted this time.. I went with the Black wheels and the CF badge pkg so I will just see if I made a good pick or not...
To me I have never sen a Ugly Vette... well maybe, but the owners did it ....

Not a fan of the new wheels, they remind of the ones that come on the new Taurus SHO

No thanks and No thanks.
Shark Gray is to a C7 what Precision Red was to the C6 - too many GM bureaucrats with nothing to do other than to mess with a successful color without improving anything. Just different, not better.
The wheels look like Manny, Moe, and Jack attacked a nice looking Z51 just to make it different. Just different, not better.
Double UGH.

..... But then again, Rick Hendrick seems to care a lot about VIN #1 ... Cha Ching $$$ 
It would have been good if they would've also offered a couple of brand new wheel designs for 2015 (they could have used that as the excuse for price increase
) ... But it was probably easier 4 them to slap some black paint on a carry over wheel trimmed in machined finish.

Wait a tic--Sorry for the tangent, but is that an actual pic of the Daytona Sunrise Orange? I've seen a lot of photoshopped stuff, and have been anxiously awaiting a real pic. Don't tease me...

Why do you keep pressing the point? Glad you like it, many don't. I don't, much rather have cyber gray...

Not trying to press anything but this is a thread about the Shark Gray and the New wheels. Not about a color they don't offer any more. I would understand if I went to the CG color thread and posted pictures or comments about how I thought every color was better than yours.
