The big story for the 2024 Chevy Corvette was the introduction of the E-Ray, the first-ever hybrid Corvette. However, the 2024 Corvette also received some smaller updates, including some new wheel options.
Now that the 2024 model year for the Corvette has concluded, let’s take a look at the year’s most popular wheel options for the three C8 variants. There’s a total of 22 distinct wheel options, and a consistent theme you’ll notice is that the people want black wheels on their Corvettes.
Here are the most popular rollers for the 2024 Corvette Stingray.
| Wheels | RPO | Coupe | Convertible | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-open-spoke Carbon Flash-painted aluminum wheels with machined edge | Q8Q | 4,762 | 2,686 | 7,448 |
| 5-open-spoke Bright Silver-painted aluminum wheels | Q8P | 4,432 | 2,655 | 7,087 |
| 20-spoke Gloss Black forged aluminum wheels | Q9I | 3,672 | 2,821 | 6,493 |
| 20-spoke Midnight Gray forged aluminum wheels with Red stripe | Q9A | 2,368 | 1,994 | 4,362 |
| 20-spoke bright machined-face forged aluminum wheels | Q99 | 1,809 | 1,773 | 3,582 |
| 5-split-spoke Satin Graphite forged aluminum wheels with machined edge | Q9O | 754 | 541 | 1,295 |
| 5-split-spoke machined-face Sterling Silver-painted forged aluminum wheels | Q9Y | 342 | 333 | 675 |
Surprisingly, the most popular wheels are not the standard-issue five-open-spoke Bright Silver-painted aluminum wheels (RPO Q8P). Instead, the most popular rollers are the Carbon Flash-painted wheels with a machined edge (Q8Q), a $995 option. The other wheel option that costs $995 is the third most popular: Gloss Black forged aluminum (Q9I). With the exception of the most popular 2024 Corvette wheels, the wheel options generally get less popular as the price goes up.
| Wheels | RPO | Coupe | Convertible | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spider design,Black forged aluminum wheels | SOA | 2,466 | 2,381 | 4,847 |
| Spider design,Titanium Satin forged aluminum wheels | SOE | 1,021 | 985 | 2,006 |
| Spider design,Satin Graphite forged aluminum wheels | SOC | 964 | 788 | 1,752 |
| Spider design,machined-face forged aluminum wheels | SOD | 309 | 444 | 753 |
| Visible carbon fiber wheels | ROZ | 341 | 341 | 682 |
| Visible carbon fiber wheels with Red stripe | STZ | 115 | 172 | 287 |
| Carbon Flash-painted carbon fiber wheels | ROY | 111 | 137 | 248 |
The 2024 Z06 follows a pattern similar to the Stingray; the most popular wheels are not the standard wheels. The standard Spider design, Titanium Satin forged wheels (SOE) are the second-most popular, while the $495 Spider Design, Black Forged aluminum wheels (SOA), are the favorites among Z06 buyers. Unsurprisingly, the carbon fiber wheel options, which all cost over $10,000, aren’t as popular as the forged aluminum wheels.
| Wheels | RPO | Coupe | Convertible | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gloss Black forged aluminum wheels | SON | 172 | 215 | 387 |
| Pearl Nickel forged aluminum wheels | ROU | 144 | 144 | 288 |
| Bright polished forged aluminum wheels | SOM | 98 | 165 | 263 |
| Carbon Flash forged aluminum wheels with machined edge | ROX | 109 | 154 | 263 |
| Visible carbon fiber wheels | ROZ | 29 | 67 | 96 |
| Carbon Flash-painted carbon fiber wheels | ROY | 27 | 37 | 64 |
| Visible carbon fiber wheels with Red stripe | STZ | 20 | 36 | 56 |
You guessed it: the standard wheels (ROU) are the second-most popular wheel option for the 2024 E-Ray, just like the other two 2024 Corvette variants. The most popular is a set of Gloss Black forged aluminum wheels (SON), which cost $495. Its other E-Ray-specific wheel options are a little pricier, driving down their popularity, and the hybrid Chevy Corvette has the same carbon fiber wheel options as the Z06 with a similar level of popularity since they’re prohibitively expensive.

IMHO, black wheels look like someone stole your hubcaps or your driving around on 4 spare tires.
The Q9I has been on constraint for 2 1/2 years how did anyone get them
I’m in the minority. I’d rather be dead than red, and black wheels are atrocious!
