So i ordered my '15 a couple of weeks ago (options are in my sig) and I'm not sure of my decision. Well, just one of my decisions. I ordered the Z51 chrome wheels, but with everything being blacked out against a shark gray exterior, would the machined Z51 wheels look better???? What do you guys think?
This is what I did after a discussion and recommendation from a trusted forum member. I ordered the base car with the base 18-19 inch wheels/run flat tires. Then I ordered a set of quality aftermarket 19-20" polished/machined wheels. There are numerous quality wheel vendors with the exact fitment for your car including z51 chrome/polished replicas. I had Michelin all season tires mounted, Road Force balanced , nitrogen filled, no tax and shipped free to my dealer from the wheel vendor. My original 18-19 wheel and tires will be stored at a local tire store and installed upon a days notice. You can store the wheel and tires wherever you want. Please keep in mind the Michelin's are not run flats. However they can be driven at temperatures below 40 degrees F and the ride quality IMO is superior. Also, I've witnessed a run flat tire split a wheel due to its dead weight upon hitting a pothole. So if you take a trip and are concerned about the run flat capabilities you an simply put on your run flat wheels and tires and go as long as the temp is above 35-40 degrees. I actually saved money over the z 51 package. You can include a spoiler, dealer or self mounted, in your savings. Crey has some excellent wheels. I also found that CARiD has a lot of good looking and reasonably priced wheels as do numerous vendors recommended by our forums sponsors. IMO GM wheels are over priced and lack the quality of many aftermarket wheels.
Good luck! Remember half the fun is in the hunt!
