Greetings, 1st post for me of what will surely be many.

While I save every penny I can possibly find I am starting to narrow down the options that I would like to select. The whole Z51 vs non Z51 debate is still undecided in my mind, BUT I LOVE the Z51 wheels. If I decide not to opt for the Z51 package, can I still order the Z51 wheels? Specifically these as described on Chevy's site: "19" Z51 5-split spoke Silver-painted aluminum wheels (20" rear wheels)"

Thanks!

As we learned from "mjw930," there is a brand new option, ZF1, that includes the Z-51's wheels, as per below. While currently on constraint (not available) that is expected to change within the next month. In fact that option is not yet even on Chevy's "build a Corvette site" yet.

ZF1 Appearance Package:

Includes (Q7S) 5-split spoke, Silver-painted aluminum, 19" front and 20" rear wheels or (Q7T) Black aluminum, 19" front and 20" rear wheels, (XFJ) P245/35ZR19 front and P285/30ZR20 rear, performance tires and (TTV) carbon flash-painted rear spoiler and outside mirrors.

Welcome to our forum docprego! In addition to the new package that elegant mentions in his post #2, you can also if you decide you don't want the other parts of the Z51 Appearance Package, check this forum as well as elsewhere for individuals who have put aftermarket wheels on their Stingrays and are selling their OEM Z51 wheels.

Lots of people will be selling z51 wheels as more aftermarket wheels come on stream.....

Thank you all for the information. I am surprised to hear that I can't get the wheels only. Not only am I not a fan of the rear spoiler in general, I'm not a fan of contrasting elements such as the mirrors or spoiler in carbon flash. I guess looking for a set on this forum or elsewhere will be the answer.

Another possibility is there are some aftermarket parts suppliers who offer deals for a direct exchange. Once you have your Stingray order finalized you can start exploring the options.

Thank you. I believe I was admiring your Stingray outside a local restaurant last week. I won't mention the place but you're plate is unmistakeable. BEAUTIFUL CAR!

I bought mine from a forum member that ordered black then decided he wanted silver. He bought the silvers from a forum member that bought after market. You have to move fast when they come up for sale though as I missed out on three sales because I didn't contact seller fast enough.

Any idea on the cost of the new package?

Do the Z51 wheels fit the base stingray or do you have to make mods ?

Z51 fits fine...oh but your speedo may be .02 mph off....LOL
