Welp, they did away with my favorite wheels SOC or Satin Graphite amongst others. Thats what I get for deferring. Now Im stuck with the new design.

Do not care for this design at all. One of the several reasons I’m glad I grabbed a ‘24.

Didn't I hear that GM was also getting rid of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in all vehicles in the near future?

I'm still waiting to see better pics or in person until passing judgement. They had the red car at the bash with polished/mask which works on some cars (LC500 comes to mind) but not all cars. Interested in seeing the 'pearl nickel' finish.

Initially I wasn't a fan of the C8 Z06 OEM wheel options but the spiders have grown on me over time. Definitely prefer them over the CF wheels from a looks perspective.

Rumor has it that there is another order for next week on 2024. Jump on board

Wow, they discontinue three of my favorite colors and then discontinue the best wheels they have probably ever made...

Glad I got a 24 accelerate yellow HTC! Even with the total BS new infotainment

I don't see where they are deleting the black spider style old Z06 wheel. Am I missing something that the old style is not going to be available and you have to get the new style?

Just a reminder, they are only deleting two types of the spider wheels. You can still get the other 4:
