Wheels for the V Well since we do have a limited selection maybe pics or sites that have rims for us listed here.
I have found 3 but would like to know if there is more choices.
Someone mentioned we have like 10?
Im also looking thinking about buying adapters to go from 6 lug to 5 lug.
Anyone using thse?

The Rota was one the Team dynamics and that split 5 star.
Also the special edition extra cash ones from Caddy themselves.
There has to be more...
Or maybe we could get Rota to chose a better rim that the one they did to convert to our standard.
I would love something Deep lipped.

I've been searching recently and this is the best selection that I've found on one site. Some of these are custom drills. Not sure if there's a extra charge though. Might want to call them. I stopped looking for now and decided to put the money into the engine/exhaust instead. Like someone mentioned above don't expect much of a lip with a +42 offset on the factory rims. I'll replace my stock rims this fall, just not sure with what.

That's a hell of a site too! Lots of UGLY wheels, but at least there's a selection! I'm going to email them right now to see if a custom drill is extra money. I'll report back.

Ok I found this site...
tons of 6x115 wheels but only a few that might look good on the caddy but most are not the right offset.....
So get some with wrong offset and just run spacers?? Cause they have OZ Superleggera III Forged and I think those might look good.
Lets hear your input people. And maybe post some wheels you know about.

That Wheelsnext website has a handfull of wheels that are similar to the CCW's style that I think would look good on the V, but they all seem to have those stupid "rivets" all around the lip...

Yes...
Raven154 is right. If you have any understanding of how those conversion spacers work, you'll realize that using them and finding wheels in the proper fitment would essentially be impossible. And that's even more true if you want a big lip on the wheels. This is just simple math.

Im talking about spacers... Your lug pattern stays the same. I've used them on BMWS and my Trailblazer SS.
When you run rims with a different offset than stock you can get spacers that push the wheel out further for you to run offsets that dont normally fit your car. They usually are about 5mm - 8mm thick.
apparently these guys make them though.. just got an email back and they have done a few before for CTS-Vs and now that Im not at work on Caddy forum there is people using them.
