Chevy’s all-new 2020 Corvette will initially offer six wheel options, comprised of one standard wheel and five available wheels. GM Authority has compiled a comprehensive guide to 2020 Corvette wheels, complete with pictures, availability info, and other details for your browsing and shopping pleasure.
All five 2020 Corvette wheel options are made of aluminum and feature a staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear setup. The fronts are 8.5 inches wide while the rears are 11 inches wide. Each wheel varies in design and finish.
In addition, wheel availability is the same across 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT models, meaning each trim level receives the same standard wheel – the bright silver-painted Q8P. Two of the five sets (5DF and 5DG) are Genuine Corvette Accessories, which means that they are included as a second set of wheels when purchased. All 2020 Corvette wheels available from the factory are shown below.
-
- Q8P Bright Silver painted
-
- QEQ Carbon Flash-painted with machined edge
-
- 5DG Performance Pewter
-
- QES Machined-face and Sterling Silver-painted
-
- QET Machined-face and Spectra Gray-painted
-
- 5DF Black painted
The table below lists the six sets of 2020 Corvette wheels, along with the corresponding RPO Codes, diameters, widths, finishes, and trim level availability.
| RPO Code | Material | Front Diameter (inches) | Rear Diameter (inches) | Front Width (inches) | Rear Width (inches) | Finish | Trim Level Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q8P | Aluminum | 19 | 20 | 8.5 | 11 | Bright Silver-painted | 1LT, 2LT, 3LT |
| QEQ | Aluminum | 19 | 20 | 8.5 | 11 | Carbon Flash-painted with machined edge | 1LT,2LT,3LT |
| QES | Aluminum | 19 | 20 | 8.5 | 11 | Machined-face and Sterling Silver-painted | 1LT,2LT,3LT |
| QET | Aluminum | 19 | 20 | 8.5 | 11 | Machined-face and Spectra Gray-painted | 1LT,2LT,3LT |
| 5DF | Aluminum | 19 | 20 | 8.5 | 11 | Black-painted | 1LT,2LT,3LT |
| 5DG | Aluminum | 19 | 20 | 8.5 | 11 | Performance Pewter | 1LT,2LT,3LT |
It’s also worth noting that more wheels might be added to the lineup in the near future, either for the 2020 or subsequent model years. For instance, the 5DG wheel was added later on in the 2020 model year.
Either way, there are several attractive 2020 Corvette wheel choices to choose from, straight from the factory. So, let us know in the comments section which set you would choose for the next-generation supercar.

I don’t see 5 different wheels. I see 2 wheels with different “finish” options. And where is the chrome?
Chrome wheels are so tacky. I’m glad they aren’t an option.
Chrome makes any car pop! Painted looks cheap, Black is downright NASTY. From a 5 time Corvette owner, 63, 68, 63 SWC, 99, 05.
C8 is butt ugly regardless of the wheel.
On the wheels I think the color of the car has a lot to do with what kind of wheels. The 5 new wheels I have to agree Zander,I actually only see 2 different wheel designs with different finishes
color of the car …
lighter black wheel…
darker polished maybe…
chrome some piss poor tire buster will tear up your chrome….
them what ???
Im having my factory wheels chromed, so they wont be after market. I feel chrome should always be an option..let us choose what we want on something were spending a hundred grand or more for
I agree with you. Although your screenname is ironic for not liking chrome wheels 😛
Only old farts with their minds stuck in the 50’s would think that chrome wheels would look good on a sports car.
If you are a dying fan of Liberace and poor taste, this is not your car.
If you felt the same way about human bodies of another era, you would cease to exist.
RTE,
What exactly do you mean? Articulate what you’re struggling to say in proper English.
Your a fool chrome makes any car look nice don’t care who ya are except for the young snot nose kids like that black crap
… “except for the young snot nose kids like that black crap.”
That was a funny comment but I get it. It’s kind of true.
carbon fiber black crap also???
Carbon Fiber wheels are different altogether. Unpainted, carbon fiber wheels are naturally black plus they are technologically advanced. In this case, “Form follows function.”
thank you ….
black wheels on lighter colors works great….
Hey son the 50s were a great time, but times have changed. Give me carbon flash and metallic tint coat. Liberace can take a hike.
Spin cast aluminum wheels are prone to bending and cracking. I have two sets for my C7 that are bent. No, I don’t drive down dark alleys. So the answer to this problem is the forged ZR1 wheel in whatever color is offered. I hope this will be an option for future C8 models
I have this beautiful CHROME accessory on my very tasteful ride. And I couldn’t be prouder for it. If you’re going to assume yourself, do it in CHROME.?

It’s toxic process and tacky.
Sewage disposal plants are toxic and tacky process to ,do you think about that when you flush toilet? Sewage plants are far worse than A CHROME shop, the residue isn’t pumped down the neighborhood creeks!
i have my own septic system…
that waters crops
for feed…..
Yes, I used to get my wheels chromed when they didn’t come that way OEM, not cheap from LA Wheel and they just don’t last, sooner or later the guy putting some new tires on is going to mess them up.
Kinda glad they moved away from them, focus more on the car.
Some corvette enthusiasts would like the chrome option, after owning 7vetts please give that option back when I order my c-8 convertible so I don’t have to go to after market
Thanks
Dick,
Some want pinstripes, side pipes and a vinyl roof. Should Chevy offer that too?
@Dick
Chroming is a very toxic process, environment damaging, etc… not good, looks so tacky…
With white cars, chrome wheels are elegant, not tacky. There is just something about this color combination.
Have you ever seen a Ferrari, Lambo, R8, Mclaren, NSX with Chrome wheels? I haven’t and there is a reason for this. Although I’m sure that some guy in South Florida or Miami may have lost his mind along with 24″ wheels and gold trim…
More of us are TALKING about American cars not exotic way over priced cars from Europe! That’s their style over there not here
just like the steering wheel is on the right an not the left side, along with driving on the wrong side of the street!
what are you smoking ? white and chrome are elegant…
it’s a f’ n vetted.
I am one of those old fart who will turn 60 shortly and yes I do love chromed wheels. The main reason beeing when cars get delivered they came with cheap black painted rim that are good to be use in winter when you wanted unexpensive 2nd set of wheels. Now I can affort buying the car I feel will give me something to be proud and it doesn’t make any difference to me I always get nicer Chromed mags from aftermarket to make my ride looking apart. I actually choose a combinaison of black and chrome and just love it.
Good for you, Pierre. I would like to think you want chrome wheels because you have great taste, no matter your age. Everyone and their neighbor has black wheels these days. I don’t get it. Black rims next to black rubber looks dirty. It’s not a good look. Hopefully this trend won’t last too many more years. The only exception being when naked carbon fiber rims become the norm. It would be a shame to cover them up with paint. Perhaps we will have different colored rubber tires to contrast with the carbon fiber rims.
Black rims belong on COP CARS!!!
you’re so offended you don’t want strangers to have it if THEY like it? you want to police their corvette wheel choices? me? i say live and let live.
Yep no chrome option unless a dealer does it for you. I like the QES or QET. It that would depend on the color of the car. A polished aluminum would be nice though.
The black trident wheels are $2700 FYI.
Like Barnum & Bailey ALWAYS said, do you or ever heard of them? Their motto was there is a sucker BORN EVERYDAY ,don’t care what those wheels cost ! There’s a sucker BORN EVERYDAY an they’re black , so put them on a cop car where they belong!
the c8 is like the toothpaste tube of the automotive news world.
just when you thought they’ve squeezed everything out of it, it gives a little more.
have we covered brake caliper colors, side rocker options, and wing options yet?
Not impressed with the wheel choices. I have the optional Motorsports polished aluminum wheels on my 2019. They really make the car.
All very interesting.. but not as much as another reason to buy a Chevrolet C8 Corvette is that French Company Faurecia who makes the Interiors for Bugatti and Ferrari makes the interior for the C8 Corvette as well.
8.5″ width on the front & back seems a bit narrow by comparison to similar rides.
My 2017 Camaro came with 10″ wide in front, 11″ wide in back.
A benefit of having the weight of an engine and transmission over the rear tires. You no longer need ridiculously wide tires to get the car to hook up. The Z06 and ZR1 variants will probably have wider tires.
What’s up Chuck ???
You actually said pizza cutters for tires are enough for a supposedly 180 mph car ???
Lol………..
Author goofed. Actual is:
8.5×19 front
11×20 rear
Article is incorrect on wheel width:,
Wheel Size:
Front: 19-inch x 8.5-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)
Rear: 20-inch x 11-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)
Tire Type and Size:
Stingray: Michelin Pilot Sport ALS
Stingray with Z51: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Front: 245/35ZR19
Rear: 305/30ZR20
As a c7 GS Owner I’m curious if they will be made in china too?
#bendywheelissues.
#tireswithnosidewallissue
Take one off an look inside the rim!!!! HUMMMMM!!!!!
I SAY REALLY GM!?
The width information is incorrect. The rear tires are >300mm section width, meaning at least 11″ wide wheels. Yes, the non-Stingray models will have wider wheels and tires.
5 different version of Narrow tire and wheel package. Not impressive. My 18 ZL1 13in on rear and 12in front. That’s a footprint. Sorry Corvette owners.
Z06 is allegedly going to have 800HP per reports. Woooooooooow
GM will completely crush it with this vehicle.
That one will take deep pockets. Don’t ask how much either.
Wooooooooooow ! Lol
Why do you think that?
The Base Vette only went up a couple thousand from the C7. Why would the upcoming Z06 not follow the same?
Some one has to for R&D ? $60K Chevrolet is not making money at that price, took alot of money and time to make the C7 Z06 what it is ? If it don’t make dollars it don’t make cents !!! That my opinion.
The most important information about the wheels has been left out. Are they stationary cast, die cast or centrifugally cast? Which casting Aluminum alloy is being used? Or are they forged? What forging alloy is being used? Cheapest, weakest and lowest cost is stationary casting. Most expensive, strongest, higher cost is forging. For narrow rims like these, I would suspect that stationary casting is being used.
Paul P, the process used for these wheels is Flow Forming. A narrow wheel is made and then they are formed to a wider bed by pull force while keeping the low mass of the original cast.
Bob, there are non existent Ferrari or Lamborghini or Aston Martins with Chrome Wheels. Neither Audi R8 or BMW M or MB AMG’s use chrome. Come on. Chrome is going away even in front ends, unless you are a Kenworth semi driver.
Chrome, besides being one of the worst pollutants in the world looks like a Galaxy 500 option.
The wheels are made in Mexico, most of them.
I like the car but not a fan of that wheel selection. Maybe in future versions…
Nice enough selection, like the less busy ones better, the others remind me of the honeycomb ones on the old Firebirds and Camaros. But for 60 large, don’t complain, this is a tremendous amount of car for the price that a competitor can’t get out for double the price for the performance. Can’t wait until an all-wheel-drive one for here in Colorado, it’s in the plans as is a Twin Turbo V6, Supercharger, and various other editions paying homage to Zora. Chevy finally did it, almost got it 10 years ago, but wouldn’t be a good idea coming out with it with bankruptcy.
Black Water,
TT V6 isn’t in the cards. This is not a Ford.
You got to have a chrome wheel option! Love the car, hate the wheel options. I hope the correct sizes are 19″ x 8.5 front and 20″ x 11 rear. Who would want sausage rear tires on a Corvette.
Who would want pizza cutters on the front ?
Those wheels look like they should be on an antique McCormick-Deering tractor!
definitely need a chrome or polished wheel option. The 5 spoke are the only exceptable wheel imo.
I just came back from Corvettes at Carlisle and seen at least 10 C8’s , the wheel designs are the worst I have seen for corvette. I visited the parking lots full of every year corvette and bright wheels are the choice, polished , machined, or chrome please and needed for the C8. After 6 months of looking at the camo car, I was thinking … my god the wheels are so damn ugly and just maybe theses are Camo wheels and not production wheels that we will be seeing.
Just came back from Corvettes @ Carlisle where we saw 14 of the new C8s.
If I was ordering today it would be the QET.
Well, here’s my two cents worth, I’m retired, 65, grey hair and pretty sure us ‘old guys’ have more cash to buy a new C8 than Tadge’s wanna be youth buyers. I’m not sure how many kids with a wife and two screaming kids are going to be in this market. Black wheels are for government vehicles, cop cars and the like. When Chevrolet comes out with a decent chrome wheel i’ll be at the dealer making my deal unless I can buy the car and have my own wheels put on at the factory. The End.
Gary F,
Do you know why the Mustang is such a sales success? They have an export version with right hand drive so 40% of the production volume is exported compared to next to nothing for the Camaro.
The C8 is built for export. Most of the wealth around the world is now created outside the US and mostly in Asia. So if young Muricans can’t afford one, hundreds of thousands outside the US can. The average age of a Rolls Royce buyer in China is 42.
No offence but 65+ in the US are a dying breed. The business case for the C8 wasn’t made based on the old geysers love for chrome, suede interiors, pinstripes or vinyl roofs.
Don’t forget your Lipitor. ?
You know if your so worried what China is doing than what’s going on in America mybe you should movie,BY!!
I can see spelling is really challenging for you. Keep up your ESL classes Bob!
Well I see you must have missed that day of school when they taught common SENSE! It also sounds like your jealous on what kind of cars people has in other countries ! Me personally I don’t keep up with THE JONES,I don’t care what other people has , one thing about me is I OWN EVERYTHING I HAVE AN IM NOT IN DEBT, AN SO I DONT WORRY ABOUT HOW MUCH A MONTH THATS GOING TO COST!
GM needs to bring back the old popular rally wheels, they were clean an good looking wheels!!
Does anyone have a photo of a white C8 Corvette with chrome wheels? I know there is a debate about whether or not chrome should be used on a sports car but if we all saw some photos or a video it would be easier for us to make up our minds. I would love to see it. Even if I had the money to get a C8 I would have no clue as to which color I like best (black, graphite, silver, or white) so I am curious about a white/chrome combination.
O.K., I just googled, “White Ferrari with Chrome Wheels”, and I found this. It’s a Ferrari 360 Spider from 2003. The car still looks great but perhaps white with chrome wheels does look dated. What do you think?

I’ve had chrome (more than once) because that’s how the car or truck came. Never loved chrome. Always prefered polished aluminum over chrome, and now go out of my way now to choose polished. Classier. More realistic. YMMV
@PhD PE … but polished aluminum oxidizes. How do you keep polished aluminum wheels looking good?
Let me ask my detailer, I’ll get back to you…
Generally, factory polished wheels are clear-coated. If they aren’t, or, if they are polished aftermarket, should they begin to oxidize, you re-polish them (BEFORE pitted). Oxidation is of typically an environmental based event (unless someone is introducing an agent to the material). I live at the beach, commonly a harsh environment for raw aluminum, and I have owned polished aluminum wheels up to 8 years with no observable oxidation.

Got to see all of these wheels on actual C8’s at Carlisle last August.
The Q8P silver painted wheel was just too bright, which made me wonder how chrome wheels will really look. Let’s face it – they are either coming from the factory or the after market.
I’m a geezer, so the black options just don’t appeal to me at all.
I had polished aluminum wheels on my C6, and have chrome on my C7. Living near the coast I find chrome can be hard to keep up with due to the salt air.
I plan to look at all the options again at Carlisle this August, then place my order.
If I was ordering today it would be the QET.
I am also looking forward to seeing the different paint options for the convertible. I’m not crazy about the black headrest fairings.
Can’t wait to drive one!
Can one get the 5 Trident wheel in either Machine – faced and Spectra Gray – painted or Black painted in 19 X 9 and 20 X 11.5?
THE PROBLEM IS WITH SOCIETY, DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS WHEN WE ALLL LEARN TO ACCEPT
THAT CHOICES DIFFER WE WILL ALL BE BETTER FOR IT . I MAY NOT LIKE YOUR CHOICES BUT THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY ,YOU MAY NOT LIKE MY CHOICES BUT THATIS WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THEY MAKE DIFFERENT OPTIONS . YOU ENJOY YOURS AND I WILL ENJOY MINE!!!
