The 2024 Corvette rolls out as the fifth model year of the sports car’s eighth generation, introducing a handful of updates and changes as well as debuting the Corvette C8 E-Ray. As GM Authority recently learned, C8 Corvette base prices are increasing by $2,100 across the whole lineup, including a $2,000 price rise in MSRP and a $100 boost to the destination freight charge.
Now, three of the carbon fiber wheel options available on the 2024 Corvette Z06 and 2024 Corvette E-Ray have received a significant price increase as well.
The Carbon Flash-Painted Wheel (RPO Code ROY)
The Visible Carbon Fiber Wheel (RPO Code ROZ)
Visible Carbon Fiber Wheel With Red Stripe (RPO Code STZ)
Specifically, the 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Carbon Flash-painted carbon fiber wheel (RPO code ROY), 20-inch front and 21-inch rear visible carbon fiber wheel (RPO code ROZ), and 20-inch front and 21-inch rear visible carbon fiber wheel with Red stripe (RPO code STZ) have each gotten a $2,000 price hike, increasing the price of the rollers as follows (note that all three wheels are 20-inch front, 21-inch rear):
- Carbon Flash-painted wheel (ROY) price increases from $9,995 to $11,995
- Visible carbon fiber wheel (ROZ) price increases from $11,995 to $13,995
- Visible carbon fiber wheel with Red stripe (STZ) price increases from $13,500 to 15,500
All three of these wheels are available on both the 2024 Chevy Corvette Z06 and E-Ray variants.
Notably, GM seems to be experiencing carbon fiber supplier issues currently. Two carbon fiber aero packages for the 2024 Corvette Z06 are currently under constraint. The Carbon Flash-painted carbon fiber package with high wing, dive planes and ground effects (RPO code T0F), priced at $8,495, is constrained at 30 percent while the $10,495 visible carbon fiber package with high wing, dive planes and ground effects (T0G) is constrained at 20 percent.
The constraint of these two packages puts the Z07 Performance Package (RPO code Z07) under constraint as well. Hundreds of 2024 Corvette Z06 units parked in a lot outside the factory appear to be awaiting the Z07 package or other carbon fiber packages made unavailable by supplier problems.
As a reminder, each of the 2024 Corvette variants sports a unique powertrain configuration, with the 2024 Stingray powered by the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine rated at 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.
The 2024 Corvette Z06 is motivated by the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine cranking out 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Finally, the 2024 E-Ray pairs the Stingray’s LT2 engine with a front-axle electric motor, boosting total output to 655 horsepower.
The GM Y2 platform provides the bones for all C8 Corvette models. Corvette production continues to take place exclusively at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

They’ve raised prices again AND you still can’t buy the car nor order one with any of the options. If you could order the car you wanted the dealer would wait until delivery day and demand an additional 50K+ ADM. None of that really matters though because the entire company is on strike. Way to go Mary.
Disgusted with GM..its’ management and leadership shouldnt be allowed to even run a circus…They offer a product, constraint items thru poorly chosen vendors who cannot supply the product..then raised prices to add to insult.
Carbon Revolution from Australia is the only game in town. They supply carbon fibre wheels for the Ford GT, GT 350, GT500, some Porsche models and anybody else with CF wheels.
Demand is outstripping capacity.
Priciest and most easily damaged.
It’s amazing that gm decides to raise the Corvette prices before the strike and new contract comes in play.How much more will Mary raise the prices then? The Corvette will become way way overpriced and gm still can’t get the suppliers to keep up with production
