    From what I've seen, that combo is pretty common. I don't like it but if you look at what's been delivered the white with red and black interior is pretty popular.

    Perhaps the dealer gave him the info on what people are picking. White seems popular as well.

    If you are really going to flip, you would say red with black and tan interior.

    If I were to pick the perfect flip car it would be

    Red or white with black or black and tan interior, 2LT, standard wheels, Z51 option, no front lift, no mag ride.

    That would run you about $68K plus taxes. My understanding is that the average MSRP price is about 75K now.

    Because a red interior is a perfect complement to a white Corvette (ask me how I know)...

    I have to compliment Chevy is moving more and more (since the C7) into customer ordered cars instead of dealer supplied cars. Individuals are far more creative. Dealers just want the easy sale.

    True dat! My BBS's of the time had black centers for that exact reason. I don't think I ever cleaned them and if Vince is reading he would say...yup...carl doesn't clean anything.

    In my previous life as a car designer, our mantra was 'choosing a wheel for a car is like choosing a tie for a suit '(when they were actually worn!).
    No right & wrong answers, just different answers.
    The Pontiac 'Honeycomb' wheel and the 288 GTO wheel were quite attractive as well IMO.
    The BBS wheel was actually 'lifted' from the original GM Chaparral race car design. I believe Larry Shinoda was the original designer of the Chaparral/BBS wheel design.
    But wheels are such a personal choice.
    Don't get me started on black wheels. :eek:

    Another 'wheel design theory/premise' :
    complex wheels on simple body designs.....simple wheels on complex body designs
    but remember the ultimate rule: 'the only rule is there aren't any rules' ;)

    you choose..

    Wow, looking for things to do in this stay at home environment, went to the Build Your Own Vette website. Here is that build, Ceramic Matrix. Can't wait to see one up close and personal. You made a good choice.
