Red interiors are TERRIBLE and Hypersonic Gray makes Seawolf obsolete, especially when parked side by side. Horrendous build.

[@thanos2727]

These wheels look sooooo much better than black wheels and i cant understand how people hate on red dipped interior . It totally makes the car pop !

[@nrdemon1031]

Agreed 💯

[@AFVetteran]

It does make the car pop looking at it from the outside.

[@rogermillard3677]

This cars spec is classy.

[@larryleonard7098]

I love the wheels. To me they are so much better than black.

[@JBurt13]

💯% Agreed!! Enough of this stupid black wheel fad. These beautiful cars need shiny bling for wheels, not black voids for wheels that are hard to see.

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

Absolutely stunning! That color is gorgeous and the wheels fit that car perfectly!

[@nrdemon1031]

Thanks for the kind compliments.

[@charper1]

I guess I am in the minority on interiors. Although this is one of the VERY FEW C8's that I actually like (I am a 2019 C7 ZR1 guy) but the red interior just looks cheesy bad to me. but dang the Sea Wolf Grey, esp with these wheels, is amazing.

[@SkyCuration]

lets go with the black wheels. those shiny silver ones distract from the main show.

[@Jamesbill6672]

No black wheels! Beautiful ride! Love the spec…

[@thomasangelo4219]

Good luck the wheels look awesome Love my 06 every time I drive it just gets better and better

[@porscheoscar]

Thise are the nicest wheels I've seen on any modern Corvette. I would prefer them in matte gold with a gun metal undertone with that body color and interior. Also some body graphics are never done on these cars. I like the way Porsche did their body graphics on their Le Mans cars.

[@jameswalton8927]

you did good on the brushed wheels.

[@JBurt13]

Sea Wolf Gray and Red Dipped together. Such a classy combination. My favourite C8 spec yet. Put the factory Carbon Flash stripes with red accent, this car would be SO sick. Well done good sir!! "It's a beut Clark, a Beaut." (Movie reference)

[@nrdemon1031]

Thanks, haha I get it says “Rusty”

[@nrdemon1031]

Thank you everyone for watching and all the positive comments!

[@billmiller8782]

Yes - gloss black wheels - would go great with the sea wolf Grey color. - Silver wheels look better on bright metallic color and white cars. Your car needs some contrast and he use of black wheels would go great with the other black accents on your splitter, side and front blades, wing blades etc.

[@leesylvester8713]

Beautiful car! I have seen this exact same Z06 with black wheels and it looked great. I have never considered black wheels myself on any vehicle that I’ve owned.

[@trunkmonkeygarage8359]

Wow, great color combo. Wasn’t a fan of the red dipped previously but w the Sea Wolf grey it really makes the care look luxurious. Amazing job on the build so far, can’t wait to see the rest of the mods.

[@nrdemon1031]

Thanks, stay tuned lots of cool stuff coming.

Filming has now become next level, you're spoiling us. That C8 Z06 in sea wolf grey on red is stunning, best of luck with her 👍🏽🎉

I installed a Tear-off on my 70th and very glad I did. It took some large rock strikes with 0 damage. You will love it. Can't wait to see all the install video's. Congrats Darren !!!

Got my Z06 a few weeks ago. Had the dealer put in the grill rock guard installed ( a must) and had my local dealer replace the Brembo brake pads with 5 miles on them for the Paragon ceramic pads. Makes a difference

[@nrdemon1031]

Yes, pads and grill guards are a must, installing both soon. Thanks

I like the black wheels. That is what I put on my Corvette.

[@petercarey6883]

FWIW, I put the Caro Tech pads on my GS and it did reduce the brake dust, but not even close to what the Carbon Cermic brakes do. If I had the money, which I believe Darren has, he should have ordered them. But I'll be interested to hear his review when he has the Carbo Tech pads on. They might have improved them since I did mine. Save the Waves guys. 🙋‍♂🙋‍♂ Oh yeah, I love Darren's spec! 👍👍

[@rodneygreenman8107]

The silver wheels are the icing on the cake.Like a diamond on a beautiful womans hand.The black wheels all look alike,I hate them.I would NOT do any thing else to this car,it is perfect just like that.Just outstanding.

[@georgedelgado9512]

The corvette is the number one car for men that retire. Any corvette, it dosen't matter what year if its clean it's a bad ass car.

[@nrdemon1031]

Agreed

[@jskrzn1]

Congratulations, love ur new ride! ... For anyone on the fence about CC brakes, read the opinions of others who have them to help with that CC decision. My experience with them and only because I'm a detailer that the majority of exotics I work on have them... it was a no brainer to add the CC/Z07 package because .... I KNOW! and would rather be driving than cleaning my wheels ....even a little with just performance pads. You're already spending 115K+ on a Z06, why not skip something else and get the CC brakes. 22K Mi on my 19 GS Z07 and the only dirt that my wheels produce is from the road. I have cleaned the inside of my tubs twice in it's life time and even then, they weren't that dirty. I clean the outside of the wheels about every 2-3 months and only cause of road dirt and they are chrome. Brembo fact, brakes will last the life time of the car unless you track it. We have no track in Hawaii or I would track.

[@nrdemon1031]

This is why like my Stingray z51 I’m switching to Carbotech 1521 brake pads should eliminate 80% of the dust.

[@Vini-Pizza]

Nice spec! Look the red dipped interior!

[@nrdemon1031]

Thanks

[@7cafeify]

NOoooo Black wheels ,the ones u got are stunning!! coz u can see the design detail plus honestly they look more aggressive in mho

[@jrocket50]

Red wheels to match the interior because the red pops so hard in the interior I think it would look great or at least some Red accents somewhere incorporated into the wheels just look at the calipers peeking through to get a preview. The brushed aluminum does the car no justice it's a contrast issue for me. Black over the brushed the brushed finish has been done to death this car is stunning with the Red interior and the Sea wolf Gray look how the wheels just sort of fade away and blend in compared to the rest of the car.The design however you nailed perfectly don't think I've seen a nicer design anywhere but the Red needs to come to the exterior a bit more but overall Amazing Amazing Corvette best of luck and happy motoring

[@user-nt8kc7ho6d]

Do the soft rubber splitter like Rauh Welt Porsches by Nakai San. Even Porsche copied his design. Hard splitter is a nightmare on driveways and speed bumps.

[@otownracer]

Wheels look good - color choice - I hope they gave you a discount for that. Seawolf Gray, Nardo Gray, etc - I just don't get the fascination with such a dull color on such an exciting car.

Beautiful spec on Darren's Z06! Love the wheels! May consider the Forgelite wheels on my Z51 Stingray.

For the record these are Forgedlite wheels with a “d” The other brand is trying to capitalize on the marketing and success of the original company Forg(d)edlite. I guess that is what Canadian companies do??? This company is from good ol USA 🇺🇸 Like our country we are always first and the leaders.

I like the red interior for about five seconds and then it becomes a little overwhelming. I've seen the red side skirts trimmed in red on an Aventador that looked really nice and accented the gray.

[@JJAAZZMan]

I dont really mind if the wheels are brushed, polished or chromed as long as they're NOT BLACK! I feel that black wheels detract from the appearance of the car instead of enhancing it.

Congratulations Darren, it’s a beautiful spec. I see you removed the front piece above the center radiator. I just did that on mine and like the appearance better. There is a gear selector cover on Amazon that matches the stealth interior perfectly in matte black. I didn’t get any carbon fiber either and that cover in matte black really completes the stealth interior the way it should have came from the factory. Look forward to watching your updates. 👍 Doesn’t sound like you’re gonna have all your PPF done in time for the Bash?

I think your car is beautiful. The wheels are gorgeous, I think you should just enjoy your vehicle. No need to spend money on extra details. The gray, red, black, and metallic accents are awesome. Only thing I would do, is ppf the car(I see on the video you are in the process of doing it), and the front grills to protect from bugs, and fod (foreign object debris). Awesome car. Enjoy!

First and foremost, congrats! The new colors (Sea Wolf Gray and the Cacti Green) are really nice additions. I respectfully disagree about NCM Insurance. I inquired about coverage for my 2019 Grand Sport that I barely put 5k/yr on. I was denied coverage because I had glass repair claims on some inherited vehicles I no longer own. So, basically, if you have any previous claims they'll not extend coverage.
