TSP '09 CTS-V, Lowered w/ 20's! I thought I'd share a few pics of my personal '09 CTS-V. This is the car that made 582 RWHP/610 RWTQ a few months back. We recently completed the spring swap, and Tony was nice enough to set me up with a set of DPE SP5 wheels in 20x9.5 and 20x10. They have a brushed finish face with polished lips. The tires are Nitto Invos in 255/35 and 285/30.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Looks good! On a side note I think i'm running your springs and pushrods. I did SNL's (Ft. Worth) v.2 cam package with the high lift goodies.
What mods do you have on your V? Is it auto or stick?

I know it's against the norm, but I'm not a fan of black wheels on black cars. It's hard to see the brushed and polished finishes in the pics, but it's what I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, though, black wheels would be MUCH easier to clean! To each his own. 
whisler151 - Great choice on a shop and cam! The SNL guys are great. My V is a manual, and it has a 9.55" crank pulley, upgraded heat exchanger, 160 t-stat, metal induction elbow to avoid collapsing under boost, and TSP dyno tune. Headers and catted x-pipe will most likely be next.

i'd say 21" fit these perfectly, but a 20" still looks very good, just more conservative.
very nice car OP. i agree with you on the black on black bandwagon. i never got on because in my honest opinion, i think that's almost "ruining" such a nice wheel.

Beautiful car. I actually have a black 6-speed as well ('10) and am having a hard time deciding whether or not to lower the car. All of the D3 lowered V2s appear in photos to lose all of their rake. Over on Cadillac Forums there has been quite a bit of discussion on the topic. Because of this, there is at least one guy who just cut the stock springs the same amount from each corner to keep the aggressive angle of the car. If you don't mind I would like to know your thoughts on the topic. With respect to the rims, don't change a thing. Thanks!
