Default 1st Corvette 2008 Atomic Orange

Hello everyone! Long time enthusiast, first time owner. My wife and I just purchased our first Corvette over the weekend. We picked up a 2008 2LT Z51 with NPP exhaust from Columbia Chevy in Cincinnati, OH. So far, no plans other than changing the wheels to correct '08 wheels at some point. Here are a couple of pics

Welcome. If yours is an early 08, they are the correct wheels. Don't forget to save the wave.

According to the codes in the glove box, it was supposed to come with the silver painted split spoke QG6 wheels, so unless someone messed up at the factory, I think these were installed after the fact.

I did find a listing where the car was on a BMW lot in Arizona at one time early in it's life, and it already had these wheels on it. Tried contacting the original selling dealer to see if they would give me anymore info on the car, and they just told me to run a carfax
