Default Weight of accessory wheels
Does anyone have a clue what the accessory wheels weigh compared to the standard speedlines on a V1? If they are lighter I'd like to pick up a set.

Id be interested in this also. I got 3 standard rims that are pitting and one has a small leak already. The accessory wheels look real nice too.

I've been trying to get my hands on a complete set for the last year without any luck. If you find a source let me know!

The figures I've seen state they are 2lbs lighter than the standard wheels. I have them, love them, but haven't weighed them without a tire.

When I had Accessory wheels I weighed one at 22#. I've never had the stock wheels, but my understanding is they're in the 24-25# range.

Does anyone know where I can get a set? I like the way they look and if they are 2-3lbs less that's a strong selling point.

I've got a set that I don't want. I'll let them go cheap if anyone's interested.












I don't really have any wheels for sale and couldn't help myself

Damn you! You picked me up and crushed my dreams all in a matter of seconds. Disregard the PM, I wanted to make sure I got a PM to you quickly.

Only issue i have is if you ever break one, your f'd to try to find a single. Buying rims suck.

This place looks like they have them, and I could be wrong, but last I checked OEM parts have to be available 10 years after a car was built by law. If that's still true you got till 2017 to find them.

http://www.gmpartsonline.net/cadillac-accessories.html

That's not the only place I found them. I bought some oem forged staggered 18's, colored crests, and tmp's for my ATS from a guy for $1000 shipped I want to see if he can get me a deal on these just waiting to hear back. If anyone else wants a set let me know.

Just to be clear I could be also chasing something that doesn't exist.
