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!

Wait, don't you have the Lambo styled doors on your TA??

Car looks good. 20" wheels almost look small in those round wheel wells. Much like the issue on GTO's.

When I saw the thread title, I thought I wouldn't like the wheels. The uplevel factory wheels look good on the car. Pics proved me wrong, wheels look damn good

I'm thinking these would look good on my MGM G8

Maybe get the old CTS rims to put on the old caddy! Can you get them gold plated?

Wheels look nice on the CTS. Like that you dont even have to leave your driveway now for photoshoots!

We bought this CTS over a year ago, no CTS-V back then. This is just our commuter car to put miles on.
