As much as I like the wheels, pretty soon people are gonna start to think they are factory wheels. SO many people are getting the same ones they are starting to be played out lol.

I'm lucky if I see 2 CTS-V's a month, not likey to see these wheels anyplace else besides a forum...........LOL
main reason was to get wider rubber under the back, only posted pics cause you don't see too many Thunder Grey's
I'll try and post more pics soon

way out in Suffolk County, not sure on the %tint, was already done when I purchased car last year. Now I have to paint the rotors....LOL
These wheels don't cover as much and the are starting to show some rust.
Got to love NY winters....
previous owner must not have driven in the rain/snow, wasn't a speck of rust when I picked it up with 11k miles, showing rust with the 4k I put on.......
don't drive in the snow, but still take it out year round

Looks great! FYI my 295s on these wheels are cool, but will be replaced w/ 285s when the time comes...too close even on stock ride height.

was looking at your pictures, on the caddy site, car looks sweet. But I decided to run the 285's because I was finding a larger selection of tires.

I love these wheels. I decided to hold off on my cam swap after the RT cats I just bought to get these wheels. I am going with a set of the Hyper black on my black V. Have not seen that combo yet.

I am running a 30 series sidewall on my 295s and have no rubbing problems (with rolled fenders), and I'm lowered about 1".

I had more rubbing problems with my 285/35/zr19 Toyo T1Rs than I have now with my 295s. I know some people won't believe me, but the overall diameter of my current setup is about 1" less than stock and that makes all the difference (but not enough screw up the Stability Control).
