Wheel assist for CC break rotors

We now have a wheel assist fixture for installing the wheels on the Z/28 front and rear. It will protect from hitting the top of the brake calipers or scaring the Carbon Ceramic break rotors. It will work both front and rear and it really helps installing a tire. You just remove the center cap install the fixture hang the wheel on the fixture and rotate to install!! just rotate the wheel to line up the lugs to the wheel.

Waiting for tap at this time. They will go out this week. front you will use the pin on one side of the fixture and in the rear it will screw on the hub. very simple. Its tough to install the wheels with out it. The Corvette comes with goofy foam things you put over the rotors and a tough thing to get in place.

Elegant and simple solution you came up with!

This is the alternative you mentioned, and it's surprisingly easy to forget you left them on the rotor once you've reinstalled the wheels.
