Re: Carbon revolution

An eBay adfor C8 Corvette wheels may have just revealed the style and design of the upcoming next-generationCorvette Z06's rollers. The ad for "2020 Corvette C8 Carbon Revolution [20/21-inch] Factory Original OEM Wheels Rims Set'' was recently posted to the auction site by user certifiedfactorywheelsinc with an asking price of $4,500. (That's ridiculously cheap for a set of wheels like this, so if you don't buy them, we might. )
While the wheels themselves appear to have been built specifically for GM per labels pictured in the listing, they would not seem to actually come from a stock 2020 Corvette. That's because Chevy doesn't currently sell a carbon-fiber wheel option for the C8. Given the seller claims the wheels were used by GM for "OEM/Test Validation" purposes, it's possible the set of four C8 wheels is intended for the upcoming Corvette Z06. We reached out to General Motors for a response but have yet to receive a response.
This is rather interesting. A set of carbon revolution wheels from a C8 Corvette with a GM part number on them. Possibly for the Z06 or Zora?
And how did they end up on Ebay when they aren't even in production for GM yet? Are these the wheels stolen off the C8 that ended up on blocks in Detroit minus wheels?
