It's amazing to me how crazy the automotive industry is. It just seems like there's little clues left all over and, frankly, no one is really considering how easy information spreads these days.
So much for keeping secrets, huh?
According to the Motor Trend team, a set of the all-new, 2021 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06's wheels may have just popped up. This isn't a huge surprise given that the next-gen Z06's steering wheel appears to have been leaked as well.
Made of carbon fiber, these wheels are advertised as OEM — the part number/stamping seems to back this up. NOTE: From what we've seen of the standard 2020 Corvette, these wheels are not available. Apparently these were used for test/validation purposes.
In other words, research & development.
IF you're wondering who Carbon Revolution is, it's an Australian-based automotive vendor that supplies OEMs, like Ford and Ferrari, with carbon fiber wheels. You can see their work on the GT, GT350R and 488 Pista.
So, what do YOU think, Spies?
