Default New Factory Z06 Wheels

Looks like a new wheel design was revealed today at the bash. Not sure how I feel about them as of now.

I like that they are very open and look super easy to clean.

Do not like the looks though, so would not order given the choice. Wonder if I would like them better in a single color.

Gross. But it looks like they finally will offer a true yellow color caliper

Those look like the 2005 koenig special. Thank freakin god i have a '23. These "revisions" seem to be getting worse. Plus price increases and no 5k GM rewards.

Us '23 owners are lucky.

IDK in all black some of the detail might get lost. If it was all Silver/Aluminium colored finish it would give off a classy look kind of like the Ferrari's.

Those are horrible. Every current wheel is better.

I hope that’s just an option and the current spider wheels are still available. These just don’t look as good. Maybe if they were all one color. But even then I still prefer the 23-24 wheels.

These remind me of the Lexus LC500 wheels which look fantastic on those. Need to see better pics before passing judgment.

Don't like the look of them at all, but I'd be curious to know if they are designed this way to be lighter- in which case, I'd be ok with them.

I think I'd like them if the silver wasn't interrupted by the spokes. I always liked the black/Silver look. As is I'll pass. We'll see if they're option wheels or accessory wheels. Makes a big difference in the cost.

The first thing I said to myself was the following.
1. Those look allot easier to clean
2. I wonder if they look better in all black or all anything.

Not sure how I feel about them.

In the 2025 new colors thread, the Sebring orange car appears to have these wheels in an all silver color. Don’t look bad. They are basically a “5 spoke” version of the current spider wheels.

The two tone paint in these pictures just looks horrible.

Even in this photo from a distance the wheels are horrible. This style was popular in the late '90s - early '00 (and didn't look good then).
