Glad you finally got your C7.

We chatted via PM back when we both had 2014's ordered. Now we're both in 2016 Z06's.

Just the tires. I'm a pretty low key guy, so the chrome wheels is not my taste. Had to be black wheels for me. Probably hides brake dust better too.

With the carbon brakes dust won't be an issue.

I wash the car 2x a week and just about every time I think to myself I should just skip the wheels (I have the silver painted) because nothing is really visible.

On my 2014 Z51 after the first 10 miles the wheels were filthy.

I thought Admiral Blue was a 2017 color?

Laguna Blue is different from Admiral Blue.

Haven't seen admiral blue in person, but it reminds me of a color called bright blue used on the early 80's Camaros. Really nice. Either one would look great.

LOVE YOUR COLOR, please tell me you are taking that front advertising plat off. Darn that dealer has nerve to do that to your new car. Glad I have my Z in Pa only one plate

Required in CA. As soon as I can crawl on the ground and get a wrench under the car, that silly plate bracket is gone. I was impressed that they didn't put the actual GM front plate bracket over the grille. They tossed it in the trunk, along with some rear plate bracket.
