Default CTS-V brake upgrade - Wheel spec verification

Wheel of choice: Weld Racing RT-S S71 Forged Aluminum Black Anodized Wheels

I am going with the CTS-V big brake upgrade I just want to verify that I have the correct wheels before putting my order in and buying. I can't tell if either of these wheels are high pad wheels or not.

These are the specs that I have collected that I should have:
High pad 7.6" bs / +47mm offset for the front wheels.
Looking through the threads specific to the CTS-V BB upgrade it has been said that I would need a wheel with the specs:
-41mm or less offset

So I am a little conflicted and these were the closest wheel that I could come up with. Both of which are medium pad heights.

Here's what I'm trying to fit over


Such a big rotor seemingly "light"

Do they have a wheel like that with a polished lip/black center.

Any weight specs on those 18x10's?

Those wheels are exactly what you wanting. Polished lip and a black center.

However, scj looks to have painted more of the wheel black.

I talked to hinson and ordered mine today. They had to call weld and get the exact size info for the cts v brakes. According to him weld new instantly what we wanted. So should be about 4 weeks. Beat summits pricing with free shipping. I'm going 18x11 rear for welds suggested backspace/offset. Very friendly people I'd recommend them. Just give them a call to order.

Awesome I'll look into Hinson for sure. Thanks for that response.

Also the rotors are DBA.
