Just placed my order today.

Placed my order for a 2014 today. Crystal Red, non-Z51 (looking for a smoother ride), Nav, 2LT, 7-speed manual. Dealer said delivery probably after first of the year.
I really wanted the split spoke wheels of the Z51 however they're not available for mine. Anyone know if similar aftermarket wheels are out there yet?
I'll keep everyone posted on delivery progress.

Congrats, binko. Placed mine last week. Same color with 2LT, Nav., auto trans., and Z-51. Keeping my fingers crossed as to when........

CRT is a classy color. Even in non-Z51 form it's still topnotch.

Don't lose sleep over wheels... aftermarket vendors will be releasing many designs soon especially since SEMA is around the corner. Stay patient.

Btw, here's a CRT I saw at Coughlin's when I took delivery of mine this past Tuesday. CRT is nice on the C7! This one was also awaiting its owner to take her home.

Those look great. Did you use the original 18 and 19" tires and just get new wheels?
Who makes the wheels and may I ask how much they cost.

about 2200-2600 depending on tires - this is a base car with 19/20 Z51 SIZED wheels and tires, not 18/19 - but see their site - you could do 18/19...

Glen, I am with you as far as not wanting to spend 8000-10000 for wheels and tires. Your setup looks nice. When I am looking for wheels for the 19 and 20 size do they have to be 20x10.5 5/120.65's? How did you findout that fit versus the 20x10 5/120's. I like the TSW Mirabeau but noticed they didn't have the exact specs as yours.

Is this color the Crystal Red? I love it. I thought the Torch Red was this.

Also, for those of you who had just ordered your C7, anyone that ordered a C7 with the Z51 package, the last notice was the GMer's stop all production until the beginning of the year. I got this info from Courtesy Chev, in AZ. The reason why, beats me. My order is still at 1100 back in Oct. Every dealer who says they got a second allotment for this year is lying. It will be next year some time.
