The 2024 Corvette Stingray debuts as the fifth model year for the eighth-gen sports car, ushering in just a few small updates and changes compared to the preceding 2023 model year. Among these changes is a revised alloy wheel lineup. Now, GM Authority is detailing which alloy wheels are no longer offered with the launch of the 2024 Corvette Stingray.
19-Inch Front 20-Inch Rear 5-Trident Spoke Machined Face Sterling Silver Painted Aluminum Wheel (Q8S)
19-Inch Front 20-Inch Rear 5-Trident Spoke Machined Face Spectra Gray Painted Aluminum Wheel (Q8T)
There are a total of two alloy wheel choices that will not make a return for the 2024 model year. These include the following (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- 19-inch front and 20-inch rear 5-trident-spoke machined-face Sterling Silver-painted aluminum wheels (Q8S)
- 19-inch front and 20-inch rear 5-trident-spoke machined-face Spectra Gray-painted aluminum wheels (Q8T)
Both of these wheel options were previously available across the C8 Corvette Stingray lineup for the 2023 model year, including 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT trim levels, as well as both the Coupe and the Convertible body style. Pricing was set at $1,495 for both.
Going forward, the 2024 Corvette Stingray will offer two new wheel options as replacements for the outgoing wheel options listed above. The new wheels include:
- 19-inch front and 20-inch rear 5-split-spoke Satin Graphite with machined edge forged aluminum wheels (Q9O)
- 19-inch front and 20-inch rear 5-split-spoke machined-face Sterling Silver-painted forged aluminum wheels (Q9Y)
Images of the two new wheel options offered for the 2024 Corvette Stingray are currently unavailable.
As a reminder, the C8 Corvette Stingray is equipped as standard with the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine, which is rated at 490 horsepower at 6,450 rpm and 465 pound-feet of torque at 5,150 rpm. Under the skin, all C8 Corvette variants ride on the GM Y2 platform. Production takes place exclusively at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.
As GM Authority was the first to report, production of the 2024 Corvette will begin on September 5th, 2023.

I really liked those two wheels a lot better than the standard wheels that are offered.
Those two wheels were the worse looking wheels corvette offered and were a $1500 option. Surprised it took this long to discontinue them.
There used to be years when the Corvette’s were given a different wheel cover and later wheels themselves to denote every different year (for instance 1963-1966, 1967 began the Rally wheel but in different widths ’68 & ’69 but still retained an actual Turbine Blade design wheel cover till 1973 but again new alloy wheels were available in a few various configurations) which gave the new owners something to denote the year the vehicle. There were other physical and cosmetic changes also that occurred again denoting the various year of production, my point being that one could literally tell the year of the car by the various changes…to me a good idea as one year didn’t look exactly like the previous year. However the current C8’s wheels were (and this is just my opinion) the most lackluster in every year of production, right from the 2020 on through the 2023 and probably even the 2024’s. Not sure why the GM Corvette powers that be, allowed this to happen, and many new C8 owners I’ve talked to (and yes I am a current Corvette owner although in 2001 guise and yes I’ve added or updated my original C5 wheels for the chromed C7 Z06 wheels, just my personal choice) have voiced their unhappiness with the ANY wheel that was available from the factory on the current C8 (and no, I wouldn’t go with any sort of a chrome design on a C8, again my opinion) not to mention the added cost of some rather ugly wheel design.
However I suppose this can work out for the better in some cases as there are many outside wheel manufactures that have made available some amazingly beautiful designed wheels that can really improve the looks of the C8’s basic body design.
Seems to me GM wheel designers are “stuck in rut” with their current designs…time to “change” things people, please be advised that you can go to the public to get an idea of what sort of a wheel design change every year may be more acceptable and if you’ve run out of ideas (sic) all you’ve got to do is to check out some of your foreign Super Car competitors designs that seem to be timeless and very acceptable (think Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren ect.) and by changing wheel design with every concurrent year, you’ll be giving the new C8 owners a more interesting choice of wheel design.
Or….just continue doing what you’re doing and let the new C8 owner make their own choice of wheel design, which seems to be the “non inspirational way” of doing things, just say’n.
Absolutely 100 % correct, especially on the very undesireable C8 wheel designs from day 1. Within 2 months of ownership of my brand new C8, I had my very nice designed polished wheel on the car.
Another screw up my favorite wheels GM is just going to help the aftermarket companies I’m sure they love it
Hey GM,
Wheels aside for a second. The C8 is entering a 5 year stretch basically unchanged. Let’s hope for 2025 you clean up the looks; inside and out. The mechanics, except for no manual trans, are just fine.
I ordered the Black Trident Wheels and love the way they look on my Vette. The only issue I have with these wheels is that they are difficult to clean the back Drum area.
GM Authority (Mr. Johnathan Lopez) … I have a possible article to write about. My neighbor’s 2020 HTC, and my 2022 HTC have both experienced broken Convertible Top failures due to the Cabling System breaking. It can’t be just a rare coincident that two neighbors living across the street from each other, who do not travel together, and are very different in ages (she’s 65-70, and I am 55) have experienced similar failures. Currently, my Vette is in the shop for the third straight week (since June 21st), currently waiting on brackets to come in as part of the repair. If this is happening to others, and/or a common problem, what happens to us HTC owners after the Tops are out of Warranty? The fact that I was told my car is waiting on Brackets has me concerned if the Brackets were pulled out of the fiberglass mounting, does this area need to be reinforced in design.
Q9O and Q9Y are a modernized version of Q8P
