2026 Corvette Base Wheel

According to GMAuthority.com, the 2026 Corvette Stingray is bringing big updates from fresh paint colors to a redesigned interior, and even the debut of the powerhouse ZR1X hybrid. But not all changes are additions.

Two wheel options are being dropped for 2026, including the popular Carbon Flash painted Q8Q wheels, with no replacement planned. The old base wheels are replaced by five-split-spoke Pearl Nickel forged aluminum wheels. That means the Stingray’s wheel choices drop from ten to nine.

If you’re a fan of the outgoing styles, now’s the time to grab a 2025 while they’re still available.

Corvette Mike is proud to present one of the most iconic race-bred Corvettes ever built — the 1968 Le Mans Blue L88 Convertible once campaigned by James Garner’s American International Racing (AIR) team.

This isn’t just a Corvette — it’s a rare piece of motorsports and Hollywood history. One of just three factory-built L88 convertibles delivered in November 1967 for Garner’s team, this car was specially ordered through GM’s COPO program and features the legendary L88 engine with closed-chamber aluminum heads.

From the silver screen to the racetrack, this Corvette captures the fearless spirit of late-1960s American performance.
