Default Flat Black Powdercoated Wheels on SIlver V **PICS**

I got the car back from the dealership yesterday. Crest Crest Cadillac in Plano, TX hooked me up. I did flat black and couldn't have been happier with the results. I love the the wheels!

I can't see pics for some reason. Not even the infamous red x.

the tires in the pic posted look smaller than factory diameter.. could be wrong

factory tire spec is 245/45/18, i'd say these are 40 series or possibly 35's.

Yeah...245/40 front 275/35 rear. The Eibachs lowered the front so much that the stock size 245/45 was tucked in the wheel well. I dropped them because I dont like the tucked look.

Hey Whistler. I was told that having diffrent sizes on the front and the rear can trigger stability mangement to go off dangerously. I have a 2006 V and when I wear out the tires I wanted to go with a lower profile tire. I am just doing my research.

looks fantastic! i'm making an appointment for next month (during vacation time).
i''ve been back and forth with the idea for months, and peoples mixed opinions with a silver car. this to me looks better than black on black.

C'MON AJ! where's the trained eye skills. gm emblems on lower front fender,
black center caps, though he could have bought them but he didn't. all
signs of the supirior 06-07 ls2 modle yrs. and if you pop the hood the sight of a true strut tower brace, and not a coat hanger will make you a believer, along with a better trans, rear and steering wheel radio controls.
(i'll be humble about the motor ) =]
