Default Wheel help.....

I swear buying wheels for a car has never been so difficult!!! These tires are running low, and I dont feel like buying new tires to put on the stock wheels, so am trying to figure out wheels for this car (2005 CTS-V). It looks like it's pretty much got to be custom, I dont see much else out there. So the ones I know of are CCW, HRE, possibly forged and Rota makes a cheap wheel that will fit...anyone else have any other company that either has wheel's available for this car, or make custom wheels??

thanks for your help!

there's a vendor on here that's apparently selling some pretty decent 1pc wheels for the V at a reasonable price.

i'd go custom 3 piece, but that's just me (and a handful of others).

depending on your budget can't go wrong with a custom 3 piece. I just don't know if I can justify that. I have really been looking hard at wheeldude.com for his new 19" wheels. They look pretty damn good to me. Hyperblack would look good on red too.

I powdercoated the stock wheels. Didn't feel the need for $5000 on wheels.

skip all the bs and look at the $1299 wheeldude dot com Linea Corsa Venetos in 19x8.5 and 19x10s. The only affordable wheels for the V out there. Here's mine and they make them in silver or like mine in Hyperblack, tell Dan that Alan sent ya 510-979-0638, but i wouldn't go to 295s, stop at 275s or 285s on rear:

Wheeldude.com was going to make these bronze wheels for our V's for $850.000 a set but he needed at least 10 orders and mine was the only one so he never made them!!!

damn it!!! Something like that is exactly what I am looking for, except I would prefer it on the other wheels, but that color is exactly the color I was looking for, it'd look sexy as hell with that color

Just pick up a set of some wheels you like and then have them coated to the bronze color you're after. I haver a redline with the gm option forged wheels and considered coating them a competition gray color but I got my tires mounted on my CCWs today so I will be putting them on instead. And btw search around. I got my ccws for the price of the wheeldude 19's fyi.


Gotta flaunt that pic lol.

I got them off the other cadillac forum. You've gotta find them off here or there bc they more than likely came off a V lol.
