the correct solution is not to build a dash that comes apart in 3 months. My car is garaged as well but I do drive it.

z06 and gs wheels are cast, not forged, cast wheels are cheap. The wheels don’t get covered under warranty by most dealers as they just say you should have bought wheel protection.

why no update to the 3lt/3lz dash manufacturing?

Almost every dark colored leather (3) dash option that sees any heat sun delaminates. Why hasn’t this been addressed?

Oem z06/GS wheels are awful. Lots of problems with them bending and cracking. I swapped out to actual forged wheels on my Z06. I had zero issues with my z51 wheels on my 14 z51.
