The 2026 Corvette lineup offers a wide variety of customization opportunities, including tons of carbon bits for both styling and performance. The C8 Corvette Z06 is no different, with carbon fiber wheels, carbon fiber aero, and carbon ceramic brakes all on offer. That said, these upgrades can get very expensive, very quickly, but luckily, there are a few new packages that can help keep that price tag in check.
The Z06 offers three carbon fiber wheel options, including the Carbon Flash-painted wheels (RPO code ROY, $11,995), the Visible carbon fiber wheels (RPO code ROZ, $13,995), and the Visible carbon fiber wheels with Red stripe (RPO code STZ, $15,500).
Alongside these, customers can also choose between two carbon fiber aero kits, including the Carbon Flash-painted aero package (RPO code T0F, $8,495), and the Visible carbon fiber aero package (RPO code T0G, $10,495).
What’s more, buyers can also opt for carbon ceramic brakes (RPO code J57), priced at $9,000. These are also included with the Z07 Performance Package, which adds $9,500 to the price and includes several other handling enhancements, as well.
Now, Chevrolet has bundled together several of these high-performance components into package upgrades for the 2026 Corvette Z06 that offer savings over selecting each component individually. Among them is the Carbon Fiber Wheel and Brake Package (RPO code PDB):
- $16,000 with ROY wheels ($4,995 savings)
- $17,000 with ROZ wheels ($5,995 savings)
- $17,500 with STZ wheels ($7,000 savings)
For buyers seeking a more complete performance and aesthetic upgrade for their 2026 Corvette Z06, Chevy also offers a few Z07-specific bundles that combine the Z07 package, aero kit, and carbon fiber wheels, including the Z07 Carbon Flash Aero and Wheel Package (RPO PDD):
- $24,995 with ROY wheels ($4,995 savings)
- $25,995 with ROZ wheels ($5,995 savings)
- $26,495 with STZ wheels ($7,000 savings)
There’s also the Z07 Visible Carbon Aero and Wheel Package (RPO PDF):
- $25,995 with ROY wheels ($5,995 savings)
- $26,995 with ROZ wheels ($6,995 savings)
- $27,495 with STZ wheels ($8,000 savings)
As a reminder, the 2026 Corvette Z06 powered by the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, which is rated at 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. All C8 variants ride on the GM Y2 platform, while production takes place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

ugly cars
If only the same amount of design effort went into GMC truck wheels, they could double their sales. Not kidding when I say that potential GMC truck buyers are chased away because of hideous wheel designs.
So I bought a 2500 HD Silverado and spent over $ 10,000.00 on a Duramax Diesel and an Allison Transmission. The problem is its not an Allison transmission and was not designed or built by Allison. It was built by a joint venture between GM and Ford. Won’t you please join me in starting a class action law suit for purposely be misled and fraudulently be charged for this inferior transmission that is already experiencing design flaws.
sadly, its a Ford..what should people expect.
I’ll take a white base corvette with red interior but I’d rather not have to pay 11 grand just so all my interior parts and pieces can be red. Might spring for a blue racing stripe as then the car is in American international racing colors. Also, please delete all added electric driver aids. Simple people have simple needs
GM suppliers can’t even keep up with demand for current carbon fiber options.
Hi People. The 2026 Corvette Z06 Is An AWSOME Hotwheels Car!
The carbon fiber options are on constraint most of the time, so these are only “partial” options. You can get them occasionally. They will probably not be available when your order is up for construction so you can pick a lower spec car or wait. Waiting for CF added a year to my Z06 wait time. It is a shame CF shortages are hampering ZR1’s now. Hard to believe GM has not got this resolved yet.
WHY THE HELL would GM (Mary) offer more wheel packages when they can’t even build the current stock selection in a timely manner. The new buzz word for 2025 – 2026 is: CONSTRAINT !! Can we all say it — Mary you too.
With it so hard to get anything CF because of constraints some dealers will just up charge the customer and there won’t be any savings anyway.
O well, at least it sounds like there is a chance to save money.
It’s shame that many buyers will have to settle for painted Carbon Flash. Instead of visible carbon fiber. Unless they want to wait an additional year. Pity.
