Talking New 20" wheels on the Cadillac CTS
I finally got around to installing my wheels on the CTS. Had them a few months, but just been too busy to mess with them. I'm a dealer for several forged wheel brands, and decided to give Sevas Forged a try this time around.

Sevas Forged "R77", 3-piece construction
Brushed/cleared centers, chrome lips
20x8.5 fronts with 245/35-20 Nitto 555 tires
20x10 rears with 285/30-20 Nitto 555 tires

Fitment on the car is great. Only issue was not being able to easily mount the TPMS sensors on the wheel. I've dealt with this issue on several brands, so now I just use epoxy glue and put them inside the wheels before the tires get mounted. More on that how-to later, I took pics of the process. Car is currently 100% stock other than the wheels, but I just received Eibach lowering springs to install.

Pics!

How come you didn't go with the CTS-V, Nine Ball?

Looks great Tony. Think you will have any issues with the tires rubbing the fenders after the Eibach's? Looks like it will be close, heh. It could just be the angle of the pic making it appear that way too.

This is my wife's car. We've had it for over a year now. CTS-V just came out a month ago.

Looks Good Tony.

I just did a Grey Cts last week with a set of Modular Society and did the E&G Mesh grille.

nice wheels, it looks very aggresive from the back with the 285's. have you thought about removing the 3.6 badge on the trunk lid, i think it would clean the rear up nicely

Real nice! The brushed center/chrome lip is an excellent look.
