There were several color options but for the first buy in this is what was chosen. They will be making different wheels and different colors. Just contact Dan at wheeldude. com I'm sure he would give you more info on upcoming available styles. I have some on the way as well. I'm interested to see what they will look like on a raven V. Its kind of weird. In some of the pics I dont like them, but in the one were the car is in front of the shop they look good. I wish somebody had a raven to show off.

in that shot the car is on a incline so the rear is compressed to about where i would want to drop the rear.. since you already have GCs and QAs i think they will look good. bottom line is that they look 10 times better in person.

I like the stock wheels better. These wheels, and Rotas in general, remind me of ricers. I feel that the Caddy deserves something with a little more class. However, its not my car. . . .Congrats on personalizing the car to your own liking

Great deal on nice rims,,, but, and there always is a but, tell the wheel dude to consider going to a 9.5" or 10" rear, as there is room to git er done.
Again, very nice, as no other wheel at 3X the price looks as good.

Dan(wheeldude) sent me a preview on his next set of rims for the V,
i think they look like ZO6 or AMG wheels.. looks great in IMO, i would trade up in a second

Linea Corse Wheels - "Veneto" -19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear

hypersilver




if i were to upgrade, i would want them in hyper black... the color is AMAZING, i like it more and more every day and have gotten alot of compliments just driving around.

Wheeldude as a retailer was great. Very professional and prompt i have no complaints and would do it again in a heartbeat.
